Leg Pain During Pregnancy? Healofy Natural's Leg & Feet Pain Relief Gel Is The Solution | Healofy

As you sit on your sofa comfortably appreciating your growing baby bump, you feel heaviness in your leg. The heaviness is accompanied by pain, cramps & swelling that consistently gets worse throughout the day, this is generally referred to as pregnancy leg pain. Leg pain during pregnancy is fairly common, especially during your second/ third trimester. But it can hinder your daily life activities.

Unfortunately, there is no definite reason for leg pain during pregnancy. Although, experts suggest the following reasons:

Changes in blood circulation due to fluid retention.
Growing baby bump puts extra stress on the leg muscles.
Low calcium levels in the blood.
Sleeping in the wrong position.

As the pregnancy leg pain grows day by day, you may decide to visit your doctor to find a safe and effective solution. Your doctor advises you against over-the-counter medications; i.e., Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen. Research suggests that NSAIDs can result in low amniotic fluid which can cause development problems in the baby.

We at Healofy Naturals believe that your pregnancy journey should be cherished not frowned on due to constant pains, aches, and cramps. This is why we created Healofy Natural's Leg & Feet Pain Relief Gel. India’s only pregnancy-safe solution for leg pain, co-created with Healofy's expert moms.
