QuestionHello there my wife is 6 months pregnant and she keeps having strong muscle spasms in both legs. They last about 30 second but its only in the mornings.What can she do to stop these and help with the problem. Thank you
AnswerMuscle spasms can be caused by a variety of problems. Your wife should make sure that she is taking in enough fluids, especially water, and to make sure she's not low on any nutrients, take a daily pregnancy vitamin.
She should try to walk for 30 minutes on most days of the week. If she works at a sedentary job, she should wear a pedometer and get about 10,000 steps per day. Gentle stretching of the back of the legs after walking will help a lot too.
