Lol the same exact thing happened to me at around 430 am. At the end of this journey it will all be worth it.

Happened to me last night too ? It's awful bc the last thing I feel like doing at 1 in the morning is getting up and walking around, but it seems to be the only thing that makes it stop!!

Jinxed it lol, last night I had the worst one!! It tightened and my foot was twisted funny (pigeon toed and arch was really high) it took forever to get it to let go well felt like forever! Then I would lay back down and it would start to tighten again, so I stood on it for awhile then had to massage it out for awhile after, so not fun... I have been chugging water and eating lots of bananas today haha

@babysept that's exactly what I'm feeling. But for whatever reason this time the pain came full force and it took forever to make it stop. I had to slowly get myself out of bed and walk around.

Babysept8, that is similar to what I'm experiencing

I haven't gotten them bad yet, I have caught myself a few times when I stretch and point my toes it starts to get tight but if I flex it really quick before it really starts it seems to subside so not sure if it's the same thing but it starts as though it's really going to hurt. I use to get them so bad when I was younger always in my calfs it would feel like a knot or like it was tightening sooo tight and I would have to stand on it and put pressure on for it to loosen.

Is that the similar feeling that you guys are feeling with your Charlie horses?

Charlie horses are the worst!! I hope that your pain went away soon! I miss good sleep as well, I'm afraid that all of us are going to be missing out on good sleep for many more months ?

I'm just grateful I haven't had to deal with this throughout my whole pregnancy. I can deal with the last 10ish weeks, I think. Lol

Every night when I turn from side to side I get the worst leg cramps. I feel you. November needs to come now!!

@blon yes mine was a Charlie horse in my calf muscle

I drink 2 cases of water a week and eat half a wheat bagel with peanut butter and whole banana for my bedtime snack. GD diet. My leg has been sore all day. I'm trying to keep it stretched because my muscles are so tight.

I had my first one last night! I was in so much pain! Hopefully I don't have anymore.

Hellokitty I've also been getting the worst butt cramps from lying on my side! It's just getting worse...

I get really bad butt cramps at night from how I lay my legs ???

I had a killer Charlie horse in the middle of the night a few weeks ago and my leg hurt for three dang days! It reminded me to get better at taking my magnesium at night LoL!

Leg cramps wake me almost every morning lately. It sucks ?

When y'all are talking about leg cramps are they similar to Charlie horses? I haven't had any cramps in my legs, but I get Charlie horses occasionally

Girl, I've been getting them all throughout pregnancy. They have been manageable, all except one!! It was so bad that I woke up my husband moaning in pain, and my calf was sore for 3 days!! I immediately started researching magnesium supplements, but honestly that was two weeks ago and it hasn't happened since ??‍♀️

Oh, and I know it's not because I need more water (I drink it non stop). But my dr did say that as it gets cooler and you have heavy blankets on you, that it can trigger them.

I had a foot cramp like that. It's terrible. It's a sign we need more water and a banana wouldn't hurt either

Leg cramps constantly... ugh. Hate them. And our 17 mo was up 3 times last night. I'm not sure whether to dread Nov or hope it hurries! Lol.

The bananas and water have saved me from leg cramps!

I had a few I noticed if I ate a banana a day or made sure I drank a lot of water it helps. They do hurt like hell. Right now I'm dealing with swelling in my feet and ankles that used to go down in the mornings but this morning i looked like had had two sausages in casings for feet....:-(

Haha...I sleep in a recliner and try really hard not to stretch my legs too much so that doesn't happen ? It's painful for sure!
