I end up screamin in pain..which doesnt impress the o.h when i wake him up.. Last night i slept with a cold flannel on it to try and stop it but didnt really help..Has anyone got any other suggestions

I get exact same thing everynight its horrible!!
Try massaging your legs, or lie on your back just before you go sleep an lift your legs up an move your legs as though your riding a bike, it helped me a few times.
Mine also feels like the bones on the side of my knees are scraping together >.<

ive only ahd this once but i know how painful it is i was crying in agony. the best thing to do is to try and strech the muscle when it happens

im not sure how 2 prevent it though but i know it has something to do with not getting enough of a certain vitamin

yeah I had it the other night, but I tend to get mine more on the front of my legs, especially if i stretch my leg out at night

I've been the same as Tegala..only had it a few random nights, but that was back at 20 weeks. When it happened I drew my knee close to my chest and hugged it and it went away..but I'm not so sure it would be that simple with a big bump in the way!!
