    im pregnant at the minute and get it so bad!! the other night it woke me up and i was in so much pain!!
    but i did used to get it years ago before i was pregnant with my first son! im overweight and.only ever got it when i had done too much walking which i wasnt used to! with this pregnancy its the same! if i take my son out al day to the park or walkin, thats when i end up getting it!

    Trick:

    As soon as you feel it coming on, flex your foot up and it will immediately disappear.

    @denois I don't think the hands is normal but I may be wrong you should ask your doctor next time!

    I think I remember cramps and Charlie horse type occurances are a lack of potassium. Try to eat a banana a day. It should lower how often it happens.

    I hate leg cramps they have me saying OUCHIE MAMA even thinking about um. My hubby came home from work yesterday telling me a guy at work used to have really bad leg cramps, until he put a bar of soap in bed with him I guess he swears by it. An I guess he tried all other methods to get rid of um.

    Ugh. Had these so much when I was younger. One Thursday I had it before I woke up for school, so my leg was sore all day. Then the next morning had another one 5x worse. I had to miss school that day, it was so bad.
