Oh man! Those are the worst lol sorry its not funny..its terribly painful! last two nights for me.. all the time with my fist pregnancy thou.. But its one of those things that come wih pregnancy. Yes deffinetly drink lots of water and bananas bananas bananas: )
When you stretch DO NOT POINT YOUR TOES you have to flex. I've had this issues when I was pregnant with my 3 kids but since I've been pregnant with my 4th I haven't had this issue because I flex my feet instead of pointing. Hope this helps :)
Im 35 weeks and was having terrible cramping in both legs since week 29. I started taking a liquid magnesium supplement which completely stopped the cramps. If I miss a day or two of magnesium I feel the cramps coming back.
Oh man girl, those are sooooo dang painful! I feel for ya. Try adding a banana or 2 a day in, and drink extra water. For me those two things helped out along with stretching before bed. Good luck doll hopefully they stop soon!
