I'm 24w5d and I had been seeing some articles on here a few weeks ago about leg cramps while sleeping during pregnancy, and I hadn't ever gotten them yet.. so I thought that I had skipped that pregnancy side effect.. Oh boy, was I wrong!! This morning, it happened! I was ripped out of my deep sleep to the worst pain of my life in my right calf, and for 2 solid minutes I screamed my head off in pain, and I do mean it when I say I was screaming.. Oh my gosh. I couldn't walk hardly for the rest of the day from it being so sore after the leg cramp..
