I jump up when I get em. Try eating more bananas drink xtra water and sometimes a warm bath or shower. I found ice packs or heating pad help. Be careful if u rub tho, watch for bloodclots
Hopefully someone can answer this! Oouch is right I get them in my sleep too and it's sooo painful!! How far along are you? I'm 35 weeks and thought I was going to get away with no leg cramps, boy was I wrong!
@steph_s90 and @maddyontheway i've been getting them too when I lay on my right side. One night I woke up screaming and couldn't even stand on my leg my husband was really worried. If u find something that helps let me know!
@uncaffeinated_katie hmm that'd good to know, ill def drink lots water @isaiahnjocelynsmommy & @buebug3 I tried that but I got one so bad last night I couldn't move my foot to stop it, it like froze lol @seifer12211 thank u very great tips!! @maddyontheway I'm 25 weeks was hoping I wouldn't get them either lol at least I only have 5 weeks tops!!
I will tell u the secret to get them to leave asap u wont even have any pain it works I swear by it..ok push with ur index finger directly up on ur nose at the very bottom like underneath ur nostrils u havr to push firmly but im telling u it seems so weird but it works takes it away instantly! Let me know if it works for u hun good luck ps seriously ive been doing it for years it rly works I learned it from my.crazy great aunt lol neway let me know
Hmm, never heard of putting your finger in your nose :-? I've been waking up with the same thing & my great aunt told me to use a bar of soap?! Thought it was crazy but it actually works! Open a new bar of soap (any kind) & place it @ the foot of your bed between your mattress & fitted sheet...Haven't had one since:)
Lmao @ landynplus1momma...Preggy brain moment:) I was wondering what my husband would say if he woke up & I was laying in bed holding my leg & had my finger in my nose:) Haha!
Bahahahaha I needed that good laugh ha the way I worded it I can see why u thought that lol too funny my hubby would be like uhh lindsey wth r u doing haha!! @cajunmom thanks again for the laugh
I had my first leg cramp today n im 17 weeks. Man that shyt hurts lol my husband told me to stretch my leg out but I couldnt cuz it hurt so bad. I jus kept screaming
Someone on here told me as soon as it starts to get up and just stand up. It hurts for a couple of seconds and for me it works miracles. I get them almost every night because I stretch too hard in my sleep, I have heard the soap thing tho can't hurt to try it. Hope you feel better love
Sadly I have gestational diabetes so it would be a real stretch in my diet to eat a banana a day (like I could have only a banana for breakfast ) I will try the index finger thing though.
@babyinblack682 do you know of other foods other then bananas that have potassium? Im on my phone and google takes forever! I take a pill before bed everyday, and it has helped me soo much
Potatoes carrots, broccoli, fish, juices too prune juice carrot juice apricots, cantalope, raisans they actually have more than bananas per serving that's all I can think of bc that's what I eat lol
