This morning I woke up with horrible extreme pains in my calf muscle. I've never had these before…

those are pretty common in pregnancy. try eating bananas and drink in plenty of water

@carolinamom91, I'm having the same problem!! I wonder what it could be I'm going to ask my doc on Thursday

sounds like you had a Charlie horse. very common in pregnancy. I had on last night and my left leg still.hurts. when you get one don't straighten you leg, message the muscle and try and walk on it.

thank you ladies!!! my leg still hurts from it I really hope it doesn't come back lol! it was awful;

Charlie horses 😩 had them terribly with my first!! I would wake up in tears and it would hurt the whole next day 😭 @babybee

yessss!!! that's exactly what I had I'm guessing! @kmally

@kmally, yikes no good .. it really felt like a cramp I was like whoa what's that. .I'll continue to drink more water and keep eating those bananas lol that pain is not nice. thank you

It's a leg cramp... What you do is hold your toes forward as far as you can, it's hard to explain on here, wish I could show you. Like if your laying flat on the bed and your foot is up push your toes as far as you can down like your trying to touch the bed.

you need to drink more water

I get them a lot and my fiancé is a soccer player and he gets them often too. That is what his chiropractor taught him to do. And it usually works within a few seconds.

I've heard eating a pickle before bed can help, too.

thank you all so much!!
