With the rapid development of today's life, while people are enjoying a modern and high-quality life, a series of problems have also arisen. Many people suffer from various diseases. I believe that diseases such as cramps during sleep in pregnant women are not unfamiliar to everyone.

So what are some good ways to treat cramps during sleep in pregnant women? Let us now learn about the treatment methods for sleep cramps in pregnant women.

Treatment:

1. Exercise regularly to prevent muscle fatigue. Do adequate warm-up exercises before exercise and stretch the muscles of your legs, waist, back, neck and arms. Do not increase the amount of exercise too quickly, and you should follow the principle of increasing it by 10% every week.

2. Drink water frequently, don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. When sweating profusely, you should supplement with nutritionally fortified sports drinks.

3. Pay attention to dietary balance, especially supplementing various essential nutrients from the diet. For example, drinking milk and soy milk can supplement calcium; eating vegetables and fruits can supplement various trace elements. You can also choose some calcium supplements containing vitamin D, such as Calcium Tablets, because vitamin D is the carrier for calcium ions to be absorbed by the human body.

4. Pregnant women should change their body posture frequently, move around every hour or so, wash their feet and calves with warm water before going to bed, and supplement nutrients including calcium according to the special needs of the body.

5. People who suffer from cramps at night should pay special attention to keeping warm. You may try stretching your muscles before going to bed, especially the muscles that are prone to cramps.

Although cramps are not a disease in most cases, if they occur frequently, last a long time, and have no obvious cause, you should consult a doctor to find out as soon as possible whether there is an underlying chronic disease.

6. When the calf cramps, first gently massage the back of the calf (calf) from bottom to top, then massage the big toe and the entire leg. If the cramps do not subside, place the foot in a basin of warm water, apply heat to the calf, and move the foot. This will generally help relieve the cramps. [2]

7. The intake of calcium and vitamin B1 should be increased. Calcium intake should be no less than 500 mg per day. Milk, soy products, nuts, sesame seeds, dried shrimps, crabs, eggs, seafood, etc. are rich in calcium and you should eat more of them. In addition, pregnant women should get more sun exposure. Pregnant women with severe calcium deficiency need to see a doctor.

8. Pregnant women should not stand or sit for long periods of time. They should move around every hour and take a walk outdoors for about half an hour every day. At the same time, avoid excessive fatigue.

9. Wash your feet with warm water every night before going to bed, and massage the back of your calves for 3-5 minutes while washing your feet.

10. Pay attention to developing correct walking habits, let your heels touch the ground first; when straightening your calves, bend your toes instead of extending them forward.
