What Causes Severe Leg Cramping And Weakness During Pregnancy?
Hi, I am 26 weeks pregnant and 27 yrs old. This pregnancy is my second. I have severe leg cramping and weakness. I work at a computer 8 hours a day a sitting and do very minumum walking. I drink plenty of water and eat pretty regularly. I take my prenatal pills everyday. What could be causing this major discomfort??

Hi,
It seems that due to 6-7 months pregnancy and constant sitting on computer leading increase pressure in abdomen might cause pressure symptoms like cramping.
Having anemia and generalized weakness might be contributing factor.
Continue with prenatal pill and take high nourishing food.
Go for light exercises like slow walking, swimming daily.
Take plenty of water, fruits and green vegetables.
Ok and take care.
