Leg cramps?
Does anyone else get really bad leg cramps at night? I went shopping with a friend yesterday and we were walking around Roosevelt Field for a few hours so I'm not sure if I overdid it or if it's from something else. Anyone have any solutions?

Re: Leg cramps?
Drink lots of water (this is recommended for leg cramps always, not just while pregnant), and try not to cross your legs while sitting--I'm so bad at this, I always cross them!  Feel better!

Yup!
I was about to say the same thing. Definitely drink lots of water during the day - it helps so much. And when you do get the cramps - try to walk them out or point your foot up towards your shin to relieve the pain.

Re: Leg cramps?
I feel your pain! I got them so bad with my first pregnancy, to the point where my leg would be sore for a day after a bad one. I have now mastered the art of NOT ever stretching and so far so good. The water helps too.

Also eat a banana before bed if you are getting them at night.
It is a common pregnancy symptom.

Re: Leg cramps?
Thanks ladies! My legs are killing me. And to top it off, I walked into the corner of DH's dresser on my way to the bathroom at 3AM so my shoulder hurts too. I'm just doing awesome today!
