Charlie Horse...

My calves are so sore due to frequent muscle cramps. I drink 50oz of water at work everyday, not to mention the couple glasses I have at home. I am scheduled for a massage in 2 weeks but I could really use some relief.  Anyone else having these issues? Any suggestions?

    My doctor said it was from the baby stealing all of your Calcium. She told me to take some Rolaids or Tums to relieve the cramping. I loathe both of those, so I've been bulking up on Calcium enriched OJ, and they're going away. Hope yours go away soon!

    Sounds like it is similar to the tums advice, but during my first pregnancy once I started drinking a glass of milk every night before bed, my cramps stopped coming. Also, as soon as I feel a cramp coming on (when I forgot the milk), I quickly stand up, and they go away before the pain gets bad.

    I will get them at night too.  My doctor told me to take magnesium suppliment...to be honest I havent, just because i keep forgetting during the day.  But I read somewhere to stretch out your calves real good before going to sleep, I just do it while laying in bed, and it seems to help a lot.
