are you more prone to charlie horses in your legs/feet/ankles during pregnancy? I just got a bad one…

I used to get them when I wasn't drinking enough water. I also ate more bananas and it helped ALOT!

I heard bananas help. and with my work (I clean houses all day) and water doesn't quench my thirst so I don't really drink water but I do try to drink things like vitamin water or Gatorade to stay hydrated. I figure they gotta be better than no water or soda all the time like I was drinking. @haleymm

Yea very true. Anything will help! Try bananas though I was having them so bad that it would wake me from a dead sleep at night and I would have to jump out of bed and stand for a minute and stretch to get them to go away. In my feet my legs my hips everything. And as @candidbabex my gramma also said put a bar of soap under the blankets and sheets and that should help. I never tried it but to this day I find it in her bed so that could help also.

Yup! Never got them much until now. For me it doesn't matter if I stretch, drink plenty of water or eat a banana and it freaking sucks! My mom said to try tumms but, I haven't yet so I'm not sure if it works

I get them often in my calfs, ugh... and I eat a banana everyday.

@candidbabex, @1sttimemummy @haleymm thanks , does she just put the bar of soap where the cramps happen or?

My gramma always rubbed them on her feet but left it at the bottom of the bed. I assume rub it where the cramps are?

oh I have been getting them often!!! they wake me out of dead sleep and I scream which wakes my husband and he'll rub it for me. Drinking more water is supposed to help.
