Oooooh, the lovely cramp. And I bet you had to get up and jump about like a looney till it stopped. I regularly got that and it wasnt till I was diagnosed with low iron that I found out that it can cause this. I was also told though that indian tonic water can help, something in it quinin I think.

Its not nice and i find that if I stretch out my legs in bed it triggers it off.

Another of the many preggy things

I have a medical condition that causes severe cramps in the night in my calf's. The only thing that I have found that works is for hubby to grab my foot and push my toes towards me..... I was once stuck in the bed for 40 minutes with my left calf in a cramp so bad you could actually see a big dent in my leg!!!! If you can get out of bed and lean against a wall stretching it out... I know I can't do this as it makes the pain worse... you have to find something that works for you.

You can drink bitter lemon or tonic water as they have quinine in them.. but not schwepps and not diet. The shops own brands tend to be good Asda do 3 for £1!!

I find the worse thing is after, when you get that sore achy pain. Or you forget and stretch and it comes back with avengence!!!!!!!!

I haven't had any recently but I am worried now as pregnancy will make them worse ( I have been told)!!!!!! as with everything!
