Calf Pains in the middle of the nIght

[BhoysGirl]

I remember these as well - gave DH the shock of his life quite a few times I jumped out of bed so quickly. I've heard bananas & magnesium as well, although didn't work for me, just another one of the joys of pg to cope with..

Yep I've had these, only very very VERY mild though and only if I stretch my legs and point my toes at the same time like someone else said and usually I can stop it before it actually turns into a cramp iykwim.
I'm currently taking CM Conception/Pregnancy/Breastfeeding Magnesium & Calcium tabs so they seem to be working, you have to get them from a naturapth though.

I actually had my first really bad one last night. I think stretching and keeping up fluids is the best you can do.

the biggest thing u can try to do is not to stretch with ur toes (if that makes sense)
i get them every now and then to.. its not nice when ur half asleep lol

[~clover~]

I had those with the girls. Just learnt not to stretch my legs out...hated that!
I have heard (myth busters, lol) that soda water every day can help...or was it tonic?

[BrightSparkles]

yes got them all the time with dd and have had a few with the pg.
