| Popis: |
1. 1. The leg cramp syndrome seems to occur most frequently between the twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth weeks of gestation. 2. 2. The pregnant woman who experiences leg cramps does not demonstrate increased neuromuscular irritability as evidenced by a negative Erb's sign. 3. 3. No evidence was found to support the contention that increased ingestion of dairy products predisposed to the occurrence of leg cramps. 4. 4. Calcium lactate was found to be no more efficacious than dicalcium phosphate in the prevention and alleviation of leg cramps. 5. 5. The pregnant woman should be encouraged to consume the minimum daily amounts of the essential vitamins and minerals in the form of natural foods recommended by the National Research Council or the Canadian Council on Nutrition, supplemented with vitamin-mineral capsules or tablets when deemed necessary. The presence of leg cramps should not interfere with a well-balanced dietary intake. |
