Leg cramps during pregnancy means boy

During pregnancy, the most discussed topic among people around you is whether you are pregnant with a boy or a girl. Although the current core concept is that boys and girls are the same, it still can't resist everyone's curiosity. Especially for the older generation, they always judge from every little detail of a pregnant woman. So, is leg cramps a sign of a boy?

According to the older generation, if a pregnant woman experiences leg cramps during pregnancy, it is a sign that she is carrying a boy, because boys are more active and will cause the mother to experience leg cramps. However, this claim has no scientific basis. During pregnancy, due to the continuous growth of the fetus, the fetus needs more nutrients, especially calcium. When pregnant women are deficient in calcium, they may suffer from leg cramps.

Therefore, the saying that leg cramps mean a boy is obviously wrong. Besides, the gender of the fetus is determined by the male's sex chromosomes, and leg cramps are a symptom that many pregnant women experience during pregnancy, and it does not mean that you are pregnant with a boy.

First of all, if a pregnant woman experiences leg cramps, she may not necessarily be pregnant with a boy. During pregnancy, the fetus's demand for calcium is very high. However, because the blood potassium level at night is lower than that during the day, pregnant women are prone to calf cramps, which are more common in cold seasons. Leg cramps are usually due to a mild calcium deficiency. In more serious cases, it may cause twitching of the hands and feet.

Secondly, in the late stages of pregnancy, the weight of pregnant women increases significantly. In such a situation, the pressure on the legs of pregnant women will become heavier, and they will be more easily fatigued. The muscles in the feet are also in this state of fatigue, so leg cramps will naturally occur.

Finally, leg cramps in pregnant women really have nothing to do with being pregnant with a boy. Therefore, we must look at the problem of leg cramps in pregnant women appropriately. It may be due to the lack of calcium in the pregnant women themselves, or it may be due to excessive exercise intensity on the day, which leads to fatigue of the thigh muscles and then leads to leg cramps. We must approach this matter from the perspective of scientific research.
