Charlie horse

I'm 29 weeks prego and this morning while stretching in bed I got a charlie horse in my left leg. Oh my gosh it was the most painful experience I had during this pregnant yet. Has anyone else
experience a charlie house during their pregnancy?

I would get them all the day when stretching & then mt legs would hurt for days, so I started to eat more bananas.

I have gotten them twice now during the night and they are extremely painful! I just try to make sure I am drinking a lot of water and I will strech out my legs before going to bed.

Oh yes...aren't those pleasant? I got them too. increase your potassium intake and make sure you are hydrated...even go for electrolyte drinks.
