Leg Cramps.. NOT MY FRIEND!

I have had a few here and there but in the last week I have been getting them every morning.  They hurt so darn bad but this morning topped them all.  Everytime I thought that it was gone and would relax it would come back with a vengance. OUCH!

    Stretch your legs out and point your toes toward your face.  It may seem like it will make it worse, but it actually helps.

    I've been getting them during the night all this week. Yuck.

    I've been getting them for about a month and a half.  They used to wake me up at night.  Now, if I wake up and move, they will come about.  It really sucks, but I've learned to live with them.  Just point and flex your toes and they'll go away.

    i started getting these too when i was about 30-35 weeks and my midwife/chiro suggested taking magnesium before bed as a part of your prenatal and it works, i can definitely tell if i don't take them i wake up with cramps in my calves. good luck!

    I was going to suggest calcium, which my midwife suggested last pregnancy.  I sure notice when I skip it (and am fine when I don't!)  Hate those cramps!

    I got them towards the end of my 1st pregnancy & have been getting them again lately... Try drinking more water. I notice I get them more when I am dehydrated.
