Re: Ugh the leg cramps...
Yea, they totally suck! I have been sufferring with these too (thank goodness not everyday). The only thing that seems to work is flooding myself with water.

Re: Ugh the leg cramps...
I've *almost* had 3. But I seem to catch them before they start...thank gosh. They are so painful and always leave me sore after the fact.

Re: Ugh the leg cramps...
I used to get them as well...for me, drinking more water and eating bananas helps (the potassium).

Try to eat one before bed...also up the water. I was drinking 3 litters in my 3rd trimester. 
When I would get the pain I would point my toes up to my heart to try to help the circulation (my doc said to try it).

Re: Ugh the leg cramps...
ugh.... that sounds horrible....
so does anyone know what causes leg cramps during pregnancy? is it potassium levels, blood pressure, a combo of things?

3 liters!?
Hmm..... let me think about this for a sec, how many ounces in a liter?
33.8oz in a liter. And I drink about 96oz a day. So I guess I'm drinking about 3 liters a day too!
