Has anyone else gotten Charlie horses during pregnancy because I have and it sucks OMG it's so painful! Lol I do my best to stay hydrated and drink water all day long. What else can I do to prevent this torturing pain?

@babypina, I agree with @mickbaby it maybe the magnesium in the coconut water that stopped the cramps either way it's worked wonders for me! Check the label and see what it contains

I just told my doctor the same thing and she said its common for people to assume it's potassium but she recommended a calcium and magnesium vitamin which has worked for me!

@queenmother I'm not a fan of plain coconut water which is weird because I love coconut. however I can handle the chocolate coconut water. will that work?

Drink coconut water! It's so hydrating! It has 4x the potassium of a banana and the magnesium you need to fight those pesky Charlie horses! I drink one pretty much every day on top of my regular water intake and if I go more than a day without out they come back! I buy either vita coco or yaco brand down here because they are 100% coconut water and they have flavored ones too if you don't like the straight coconut water.
