I'm seven months pregnant suffering from muscle cramps. The pain is unbearable. My muscle hardens and it really aches. I always experience this when I'm pregnant. Is there any ointment or pain reliever for muscle cramps? I need it badly need it now.

Ginger helps my muscle cramps and muscle spasms. You can get ginger capsules from any store that carries vitamin supplements and it is cheap and totally harmless as far as I know. You may also not be getting enough potassium but don't take any supplements until you ask your doctor as it could be harmful to your baby. It is possible to overdose on potassium so be careful but it is the cause of my muscle cramps a lot of the times. Eat more bananas and other things with potassium and see if that helps--the amount contained in foods won't hurt the baby but the supplements (pills) just might.
