charlie horse

[dubbers_girl]

I am 31 weeks. I have been having 3-4 Charlie horses every morning. I read that I need to drink a lot of water so I have been drinking more. So how do I get rid of them?

Banana and gatorade,  or any electrolyte drink that contains potassium.

A banana a day!!! Happened to me with my first pregnancy! !!! It worked

Thanks ladies. I will try the bananas and rubbing it as soon as it comes. I don't usually rub it cuz I think it would hurt worse. But I will try it. :)

My doctor told me to eat bananas the potassium help to prevent Charlie horses

I get them too. yeah, you need more water. mine are pretty short because as soon as I feel them coming on, I start rubbing it immediately. it goes away in a few seconds.
