muscle cramps?

Good evening ladies. This is more of a frustrated rant, but I've been getting women up by getting "Charlie horses" and my calf cramping up in the middle of the night for whatever reason. Has anyone else experienced this as well and is it common?

I just talked to my MIL-to-be and she said the thing because she used to get them when she was pregnant with my boyfriend: lots of bananas, water, milk, and peanut butter. But omg they hurt so badly! They me want to cry every time I get them!

Yes omg I get woken up every night by horrible Charlie horses. They say getting more potassium and drinking a lot of water helps

Yep sounds very normal. Try eating more potassium to help. Maybe a banana or 2. Take care
