HealthDay - (HealthDay News) -- Leg cramps are a common side effect of
pregnancy. To help prevent these painful nuisances, follow these
suggestions from the Nemours Foundation:


Before you head to bed, do some exercises to stretch your calves. But
while exercising, never point your toes.
If you do get a cramp, try to stretch out your leg and flex your foot
to ease the cramp.
Gently massage the calf to help the cramp subside.
