Waking up every night with Charlie horses in my calves. What could be causing this? I did not experience this with my other two pregnancies. It’s awful! Have an appt on thurs and going to bring it up with my OB but, has anyone else experienced this during pregnancy?

Agreed with the above. Magnesium changed my pregnancy life lol. I used to wake up crying with cramps. Water helped but even when I was totally hydrated I still had that issue. I take 400 mg daily and haven't had a cramp since my 2nd trimester
Thanks @mortonmining, I love tea so, I will definitely check it out.
If u take 500 Mg of magnesium it will stop. That's what Hospitals use to calm contractions. It soothes muscles.
@mortonmining, thank you so much!! I’m gonna get it today and try it out I definitely need it!
@mlmspm hope you find something that helps! Charlie horses are the worst!
Thanks everyone! Glad to know I’m not alone in this. I eat a banana every morning already and I drink tons of water so, still not sure what else to do. Maybe I’ll try more calcium @countrymusic_mama, I’m lactose intolerant so, it’s definitely possible I’m not getting enough of that. Thanks!
I wake up crying in the middle of the night with them it’s actually the worst feeling ever it’s like I’m paralyzed and massaging it while it’s going on makes it hurt even more😭😭😭
I'd get those every time I tried stretching my legs a certain way it was awful
Agree with everyone try bananas for potassium but ask about taking extra calcium. From what my dr told me Charlie horses are usually caused by a lack of calcium. And stay hydrated!
I’ve had them with both my pregnancies. Bananas definitely help!
Happened to me also only with my last son the day I turned 30 wks was daily :/.. stretch your toes the sec you feel it happening (would wake me outta my sleep)
Eat a banana daily. The potassium will take care of it & keep em at bay.
I got it with both, it’s from you being on your legs all day with all the weight of yours & the baby. I hated them so bad, I would try to massage them out really fast.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Is it bad that I don't take my prenatals ?! They made me extremely sick at the beginning of my pregnancy and since I'm still throwing everything up I just don't take them 😪
I think this will be my LAST baby. My boyfriend is up there in age 🤷🏽♀️
What has everyone gained during pregnancy? My mom gained 60 pounds with both my brother & i. I've heard you normally have pregnancies like your mother. Should I expect to end up gaining about that much or is that a high amount ?
And also. I take spring valley calcium zing and magnesium. Its one pill. And I think the calcium helps a lot as well
