OMG Cramp!

[jkbmah]

why does noone tell you about this before you get pregnant?

this morning I woke in agony with severe cramp all the way down both my legs, I couldn''t move and screamed out in pain.

My hubby jumped up petrified i'd gone into early labour!

I have never experienced anything like this before and it was very scary I though I was paralysed!

I have read is could be calcium, magnesium or lack of salt.

Has anyone got any tips to relieve it/stop it ??

Aww hun its not plesent is it!! I get this and it is dehydration!! i keep a glass of water or juice by my bed and make sure i drink plenty, the nights that i have not had a drink by my bed i have found i wake up with cramp!!

I have also been told by my auntie to put some corks at the bottom of the bed, under the mattress, she works in a old peopls home and a resident swears by it, my nan and grandad do this and her MIL and FIL do aswell and have been cramp free!! I havent tried this yet as the drink has helped me but i have a bag of corks ready incase i need them!!

I admit I dont drink enough, i do keep a glass of water by my bed but last night I slept near enough through so didnt have anything.

I dont have any corks due to the lack of wine for the past 7 months!!

so should I be increasing magnesium, calcium, salt as well??
