Cramps!!!

[shootingstar22]

Excuse this but f**k me I was woken up in the early hours to a complete calf cramp! Leg went rick hard and all I could do was roll aroind groaning. Poor hubby wasn't sure what to do!


I have found that since I got pregnant I can no longer have a morning stretch or a stretch at all as I'll end up getting a cramp somewhere! Oh how I miss my nice long stretches!

Totally with you on this one hun!Yesterday morning i woke up with cramp in my left calf so i tried to stretch it out and ended up with cramp in the left side of my abdomen. Safe to say i was really mardy about the whole event, haha xxx

Oh i rememebr these from previous pregnancies not had them yet this pregnancy but i know i will. with my 1st i was sleeping at my mums one night and my sister slept on the floor well i got out of bed and stamped on her head screaming, then she screamed lol mum came running into our room to then start laughing saying oh i rememebr having cramps with you there is justice in the worls thanks mum. Then when I was pregnant with my last baby my hubby freaked out when again i got out of bed moaning and walking around like an idiothe thought i was in labour early again for him then to have a go at me for scaring him. I hope you get more sympathy than me.

I wish I had ur leg pain rather than the pain I'm suffering.
Try having a warm bath or a hot towel on it xxx

I was told to eat a banana every day. Cramps can be caused by a lack of potassium.

It didn't always work, I got some horrendous cramping in my calves and feet!

I have suffered constantly with leg/foot cramps. Got to the point that I would end up with both calfs cramped in the middle of the night and dancing round the bedroom crying to try and get rid of them!!!
Dont know about banana's cos I eat loads and still get cramp
Seems to have eased the last couple of weeks so fingers crossed they subside before little one arrives

Do you know , what does work for me, is to drink more water at nighttime!
I take a bottle of water to bed and when thirsty have another in the fridge (I just refill them and pop in fridge as more likely to drink cold water).

It does mean more loo trips unfortunately, but the cramps only appear if I have neglected to keep hydrated now!
