leg pain/sleeping!?

[lilnbuttonsmom]

Ugh i get cramps in my legs at night and my hips feel like they are being pulled apart at the joint! I can usually get comfortable laying on my right side, but as soon as i do my hip will ache like crazy! Besides drinking more water what can i do, any sleeping positions or pillow between knees suggestions? This also happened with my 1st but it's worse this time around! I am 35w2d now and time is flying by!!

Yeah moving is difficult but I was told bananas help prevent leg cramps and Gatorade ..

Im going to eat a banana right now lol and it does seem to help when i put my legs up just hard not to roll onto my back

Maybe try elevating your legs ?

I have tried stretching to lol sometimes it feels like my foot is stuck forever! I have to roll over every few hours at night and that is getting to be hard!

When u feel it coming flex your muscles and hold it unil the pain goes away . And eat more bananas !!

I have the same thing with my leg its so annoying and like reckoning for me. What I do is stretch the specific leg (the calf,etc) & take Tylenol , it will make you feel at least %95 better
