Any malay/muslim mummies ard???

I hated leg cramps during pregancy too. It usually happens while u were asleep n u stretched urself a little. So ty not to stretch when on the bed. My hubs was a great
help during those moments. When u get cramp on ur calf, get someone to push your feet towards u while u push against them. If no one to help, u can oso do it urself my pushing ur feet against a wall

Yes, princesses... Do what RamblingMummy said. It works! I used to have them in the middle of the night and hubby will push my feet towards me.. Within seconds the pain is gone!
 
Slm Diza and ramblingmummy

Thks for the advice. I knew about the stretching method too.
In previous pregnancies, my hubby was also the one helping me to stretch, but that morning when I had the cramps, he was soundly asleep from exhaustion cos few days he didn't had a gd night rest. He's a light sleeper so usually at the slightest movement from me, he will be awake. But that day, I was tossing about from
The pain pun dia tk
Sadar hehe.. So kesian tngok. Penat dia hehe
So I tk sampai hati nk kejut ;p
End up I tossed about n screaming silently
In pain.
But seriously, sometimes the
Stretching took a long time b4 the cramp
Go away. Sometimes dah ok nanti it comes back again.. N it can hit the back of the leg or even on the sides. What can we do eh to avoid having cramps? Hubby said selimutkan kaki cos sejuk but I dont think so la...

That's wat my mum said also... But to me I realise sometimes I subconsciously stretch my legs and then the cramps will happen... So when I sleep, I try not to sleep with my legs str8.. I usually hug my bolster to reduce the possibility of stretching my legs.

Salam all mummies

Talking abt leg cramps at night...I had been having it since I turned 25 weeks...skrg dah 28 weeks n have it now n then...I pernah baca there's no real cause...tapi kalau minum susu sebelum tido waktu malam might help to reduce it...I dah Cuba n so far Alhamdulillah dah berkurangan n kalau cramp pun tk seteruk mcm before...maybe u all blh cuba :)

diza: hugging ur bolster is not only good for ur legs u noe...it's also gd to prevent backaches :) I had been having this habit since early pregnancy n it does help I guess Alhamdulillah...I don't really get backaches...
 
Hehe yup2 I do put a pillow in between the legs as tummy got bigger .. More comfortable.. N I love White milk now.. So funny cos I used to hate White milk... Maybe I tk minum susu these few days cos lum stock up..
Thk u mummies for sharing :)

When u take the calcium pills, do u get constipation? A few ppl mentioned this to me when I told them I took the pill coz I cannot drink milk. So I decided to stop taking the pills since second trimester and my bowels became normal. I don't know if it's coincidence or not.
 
Is calcium supplement that you referring tu folic acid ? If folic acid, yes I experienced constipation especially during first trimester. But now alhamdulillah my bowels eventhough tk clear everyday like used to before pregnant, it would be 2 days interval hehe.. Nowadays feel thirstier than hunger so maybe it does help jgk ;)

PRINCESSES- actually this is my 1st child Hee Hee my first princess...I juz got married last yr n I'm in my 30s...my doc bagi I calcium as a supplement as I pun kena amik iron tablets for low blood platelets...on top of dat I pun been monitored for high bp....Alhamdulillah so far all is stable...when someone takes iron tablets her calcium mite be affected as we cannot drink milk wif d iron tables...so I kena watch my milk intake for calcium...dats why my doc supplement wif calcium pills...maybe u dun have blood problems so dats why u were not given other supplements :)

As for my tummy....it's wide n rounded n bila org tgk my tummy semua teka betul I'm carrying a girl hahaaha until I'm starting to believe d myth dat if u r carrying ur tummy to d front it's a boy, etc etc....Hahahaha wat abt u? Princess ke prince this time? How many kids already?
 
Lizasaifi - I'm having a girl insya Allah.. This is my fourth child.. And she'll be my 3rd girl as i have 1 hero already hehehe..
As for the myth, maybe it'a quite true la cos I remember carrying my boy low. And they say if carrying high, it's a girl.. It looks round too.
The only thing that remains the same of my current pregnancy n while I was pregnant with my boy in 2010 was that my tummy looks small ( as wat pple say) and many don't notice until
I'm 7 mths pregnant hehe but still baby
Come out big.. Lol
All my babies are born big hehe
