Lack of calcium and potassium - eat some bananas and drink some milk - take your prenatals too !

Oh chica i feel your pain! I just posted about how today I had my first real pregnancy leg cramp. Woke me up at like 630 this morning from a dead sleep. I wanted to rip my leg off.

i drink milk likes its nobody's buisness lol all the time...yes i am lacking on the banana part and i slack when it comes to my vitamins!! hmm..i always thought it was because i wasn't being active.

It's probably just from inactivity. But your baby could also be sitting on your sciatic nerve, which cause leg pain. I wouldn't worry about it unless it persist and is associated with redness and/or swelling.

does it kinda feel like a charley horse up and down ur leg? i always get those mainly at night when im lying down TRYING to go to sleep. i wish i knew how to stop the pain! hang in there girl

vitamins are a good portion of it... one thing they kept getting on to me for when i was pregnant was i drank TOO much milk for their standards, like a gallon in 3days, so they said it was so much that it wasn't allowing my body to absorb iron so i ended up having to take iron supplements along with my prenatal, because after slowing down on the milk and retesting my iron levels i was still considered slightly anemic... didn't know if that affected any one else though

I get cramps in the bottom half of my legs EVERY single night! it hurts like hell especially when i try to straighten my leg to get the cramp out!!! i thought i was the only one lol

yeah it usually comes at night when either im trying to get to bed or wakes me up from a dead sleep last night that happend and i swear you could hear me scream from a block away i scared the crap out of my man it was awful, i should start taking them vitamins im sure that's why i hurt alot. they do feel like charlie horse's its the most awful feeling in the world, and the worse thing is that im completely paralyzed for atleast a few sec. those sec. feel like eternity.

i thought it was my sciatic nerve...at first when i was getting butt cramps..lol but now its in my calf's like they tighten up and i can't get them to loosen up!

hey how did your testing go by the way?...

omfggg I haaaaaated when that would happen to me, it used to happen a lot a few months ago in my sleep. Especially when I pointed my toes, so try not to point your toes. I would wake up SCREAMING freaking out because I couldn't move my leg and the pain was excruciating. My boyfriend would freak out. I'm like "bend my leg for me BEND MY LEG!!!" aghh.. luckily they haven't come back for a few months.

I have never experienced it but my Husband has ALOT!!! It's restless leg syndrom... or at least thats what his Dr said. He has been eating bananas and oatmeal for breakfast every morning and it seems like it has gone away. Might be the same thing....

I stretch my legs out every night by standing with my toes on the edge of my stairs. Then I hold the railing and drop my heels down to feel it stretch in my calves. Let me tell you, they are tight most of the time and sometimes it hurts a bit but I don't get the cramps and it helps whenmy legs are restless.
