Hi there! I am just wondering if charlie horse cramps are common in the first trimester. If so how many weeks or months?

Ummmm.. what are they???

Might have done, but don't know what they are!

Yes. Eat Bananas!! that will keep them away! A Charlie Horse is basically a cramp in your leg. Bananas have potassium that helps elieviate that kind of issue...

ohhhhhhh.. gotcha. lol! Yes I get cramp and restless legs. Hate it. I've eaten 2 bananas today strangely enough.. so we'll see if it works! x

Oh I see. Never heard that expression before! I have had a slight bit but not too much. I can't stand bananas!

Iron is meant to be good for restless leg syndrome.. my mum swears by it

I got cramps in my calf nearly every morning of the first tri with my son, it was worse when i stretched in a morning. It would go away eventually when i rubbed it, but it was painful. Nothing this time round.

Never knew about bananas Hope they help you
