Leg cramps

I don't get them that often...in fact the last one I've had was a couple months ago...however I woke up last night and had 2!! My leg muscles hurt sssoooo bad today :( people keep telling me to eat more bananas but I do just about everyday..... Other than the cream sample I have im not sure what else I can do to help with them. Not to mention the restless legs I have at night. I refuse to take any more meds. I've taken way more than I ever wanted to during this pregnancy and I am now trying to avoid them as much as possible! Lol oh such joys! Are any other women dealing with these discomforts? And how often?

    There is a symptoms thread that would be a more appropriate place for this.

    My OB recommended avocados and cantaloupes in addition to water. She also said to up my calcium and protein.

    my doc said it's too hard to get enough magnesium via food and thus put me on supplements. my cramps are gone.

    Also try taking Vitamin D 3... See if you doctor has checked your vitamin D levels bc low ones can cause the awful leg cramps and it can also cause difficultly sleeping... Our regular prenatal vitamins don't have the daily dose of Viatmin D in them. I actually finally just bought me some vitamin D 3 pills today to start taking!
