Anyone else getting severe cramps in the night!? I was screaming the house down at 5am with agonising cramps.

    Stretch legs before bed and point toes towards you about 5x before bed also if it happens stretch legs and point toe's towards you again, try walking around also, have a banana before bed or try wearing travel socks :) hope this helps

    Always point your toes toward you!! Not away or that will cause leg cramps. Lots of water, potassium, and stretching helps

    I guess I can count myself lucky so far. I'm over 26 weeks and haven't had leg cramps, swelling, aches and pains, etc. The worst I've had is right rib pain. I feel for you ladies that are having it rough!

    Ugh!!! They are horrible!!! I had a real bad cramp last week that wouldnt go away, it made me sit straight up out of a dead sleep and wouldn't go away for a good 20 minutes... needless to say I didn't get much sleep :( drink tons of water and I notice light stretching does help, when I get a bad cramp my husband will warm up a blanket or towel for me in the dryer to cover my legs, and it does help my muscles relax :)

    I've heard that eating mustard helps and also massaging your leg with a spoon. A lady I know swears by these.

    Heartburns my other problem but couldn't imagine eating mustard lol. Hate the stuff. My partner stretches my leg like footballers do and it seems to help. Lol. We look like a right pair early hours of the morn stretching lol.
