[anita665]

Hey everyone.

I've been having cramps now for a couple of days down my legs. Yesterday it was all down my right leg for the whole day and togay its in both. It's really uncomfortable. What causes this and is there anything I can do about it?

hey i had cramps before i got pregnant so i kinda know how to ease them a little.
try drinking more water (cos you might be dehydrated)
get partner to massage them
put them high up on some cushions
use a muscle rub
take some paracetamol
at least one of these should work. hope your feeling better soon

Before baby I wound scuba dive a lot, when I say a lot I mean going away and diving 3 times a day, every day.

To keep cramp at bay, cos it can be dangrous at 30 meters or very uncomfortable at the surface we would eat a banana for brecky every day.
I still been eating a banana a day to keep cramp away and it has worked up to now, (will have to update later on when bubba gets a bit bigger).
Thing is, I have to eat fibre every day too cos bananas dont help with the pooing thing.

That and lot's of water.
Potassium is good for muscles.
