leg cramp

Anyone wake up at night from a leg cramps?

My calf gets so tight it hurts to move it. It feels like I pulled a muscle or something. It's not often but has happened several times.

    Is it like a charley horse?  I've gotten those from time to time (before I was pregnant) - mostly when I was dehydrated or hadn't been ingesting enough potassium.  Try drinking more water and eating a banana.  Hope that helps!

    I used to get those a lot.  I would stretch my legs before I went to bed.  Also if you wake up don't stretch your legs by pointing your toes (this was hard for me to remember and I would often screw up ) but it makes it so much better if you flex your feet to stretch your legs.  I also started sleeping with my legs propped up on pillows (mostly for swelling) but it has helped with the leg pain too.  HTH.
