First: calcium deficiency: in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the calcification of the teeth and bones of the fetus accelerates, and the demand for calcium increases greatly. At this time, if the calcium intake of the expectant mother is insufficient, there will be leg cramps. As we all know, the calcium needed for fetal bone growth depends on the mother. Calcium is an important factor in the regulation of muscle contraction cell division gland secretion, low calcium will increase the excitability of neuromuscular, leading to muscle contraction, and then cramps.
