My wife is 28 weeks pregnant and experiences lower leg pain at night. What safe medications or supplements can she take to relieve this pain?

Asked by Female, 28 · 6 days ago

Lower leg pain or cramps are very common at 28 weeks of pregnancy. For safe relief, she can consider magnesium or calcium supplements, but she should consult her OB/GYN before starting them. For mild pain relief, acetaminophen is generally the safest option during pregnancy when used occasionally. Non-medicinal steps are also highly effective: gently stretching her calf muscles before bed, staying well-hydrated, and taking warm baths. If she notices swelling, warmth, or redness in only one leg, she should contact her doctor. Otherwise, these simple measures and supplements should help her rest more comfortably.
