CRAMPS!! I saw that they can happen in the book they gave me at the drs, but i had two HORRID ones this AM at 2am...It hurt so damn bad...I just came down here and drank one of my cups full of water...I hadnt had another one but my leg is still tingling...

Yep they hurt. WHen I got them I had to make sure that I didnt stretch my leg out but that I pointed my toes towards me. And it usually made my cramp go away for the most part. I did get 1 so bad once that I was sore for a week :lol Drink more milk and eat nanners. Sometimes lack of calcium or potassium can cause em

What about taking tums? I am lactose intolerant, will that help?

I need to get bannas thank you!

I thought i was just dehydrated, since DH thinks im a football player and thats what everything is LOL

I got them really bad if I stretched my legs to long or the wrong way. and rubbing them did no good, but make them hurt worse. It's not a dehydration thing, more of just one of those pregnancy things. I was plenty hydrated and still got them. Sometimes just knowing what starts them helps.

ohhhh I hated that part of pregnancy. I gotthem almost every night. Hang in there girl.

I woke him up and i think he was scared cause i was just crying...He said he didnt know how to help me...

Hence why I still have the dogs upstairs with him!

yea those do suck a lot!! but the worst for me was the sienic(sp?) nerve pain OMG it got to me bad in the end.

I got them all the time with all of my pregnancies. It would be like a big knot under my skin and I'd just sit and rub it until it finally unkinked. Then my leg would be sore for a few days afterwards. Mine were usually brought on by stretching my legs out, so just stretch with caution :lol

I think thats what I did today in bed I stretched and then BAM...my husband told me this morning that I have to tell him what i am crying about and if i can seperate the two cause he was ready to go to the hospital LOL

I had them bad. They would wake me form a dead sleep. I would try to get up and walk but I would fall to the floor in pain. My grandma told me to eat more bananas for potassium.

HA!! tell him sometimes its not always possible when you are in horrible pain. tell him just ask questions that you can shake your head yes or no to. :lol

I am still hurting...It feels like my legs will cramp when I go up and down the stairs...I was reading about them and it says if they continue you should call your provider, did anyone ever have to call their drs?

It said yogart would work since I cant drink milk, did anyone use that?

You should also try and eat some bananas. I got them almost evey night when I hit 30 weeks and my OB told me just to eat more Bananas.
