The Charlie horses are aweful!! At least once a night they wake me up and I have to jump out of bed and stand up to get them to quit. Not an easy task as huge as I am. But they stop as soon as you give birth. :)

Oh yes, i hate those calf cramps!! I get at least one every single night when i stretch my leg out. It hurts so bad, i have to keep rubbing and masssaging it to feel better. I'd never experienced them before this pregnancy.
