leg cramps

Anyone else get them? It happens at night for me and I have to get out of bed and like jump around for it to stop. It hurts so so bad in my calves. I know its common during pregnancy but geez it hurts so bad.

Eat bananas! Lots and lots of bananas! That helped me ward off the ungodly painful leg cramps a little. Id only get them once or twice a week versus always :)

Yes ma'am, I get them as well;-( I try to stretch mylegs every night to try to prevent it from happening. Try flexing your toes back towards you and then rotating your foot/feet. Hang in there;-)
