Ouch!!!! Ive gotten cramp in bed once but it bloody hurt!

Sometimes when I had my AF I would get these, so painful! It feels like your calf muscles are torn to bits after. I haven't had them in pregnancy so far and I am hoping I wont. I think they are caused by a mineral deficiency but Í can't remember which one.

Hope you don't suffer again

Hi

Yeah I had this too last night!! it was so painful.My DH woke up to me screaming and shouting said 'Whats wrong! Is the baby ok?' Then went back to sleep. Not worrried abot me then!!

I'm just worried bout how im going to be giving birth if im like that with leg cramp. Sometimes they say it can be dehydration and bad circulation.

yes i suffer too!! woke up in the night last night & was sort of stretching & felt a leg cramp coming on, but managed to relax & it went away quite quickly.
i suffered in my last pregnancy too, but later on than 26 wks, i think i'm just a whale this time!!!

Glad its not just me!

Lisanat i am also worried about how to cope during birth as i cannot cope with cramps i am a wimp

 

[lisanat]

it does worry you doesn't it. I had cramp in the side of my tummy yesterday and i had a right stress. I really dont know howw ill cope. my pain threshold is less than minimal!!

I sometimes get leg cramps and bananas are supposed to help, so i've been having my 1/2 a day!!!

I've been getting killer leg cramps too! Try not to point your toes when having a stretch.

Been there! And sorry to say it doesnt get any better. Especially the bigger you get as it takes me about 30min to get out of bed to stand up to stop the cramp!!

DH thinks its so funny!

I've been told to eat bananas and to drink tonic water (yuk!!) as it helps circulation!
