Cramp like pains in thighs in the morning...

[AK89]

Hey all!

I've never actually had cramp before but for the last few weeks I've been getting these pains in my thighs when I wake up in the morning / sometimes in the middle of the night as though someone is gripping me really tight! I think it feels like how people describe cramp..? I think it has something to do with having a lot of weight on them for a while at a time from sleeping on my side so much..? Not sure! It's really painful though but just for a few minutes! Does anyone else get this??

I haven't this pregnancy but had them in my last. Doc suggested taking a Tums each night, something in them helps prevent them. Also tons of water and bananas will help!

Oh wow thanks! Tums, water and bananas it is!

My midwife has me taking calcium magnesium supplements for my leg cramps, I haven't been waking up with leg cramps lately so I'm happy. I agree with more water and banana's. I'm curious about the tums
