Question

Does anyone else experience Charley horses at night ? Every night I'm waking up by my legs being locked up . Hurts so bad . 😩😩😩

Answer

I second magnesium spray. Or you can put magnesium flakes in a bath. Bananas can also work, because leg cramps are usually caused by a potassium or calcium deficiency, and bananas are full of potassium.

Answer

When you feel one coming on, flex your foot! Keep it flexed for as long as possible and it will eventually go away. I used to get them all the time in my third trimester and it  sucked lol. It's the muscles in your leg trying to flex and contract at the same time.

Answer

When I get them I jump out of bed and stand on the leg that's cramping. It helps flex the foot! It immediately goes away.. I get them all the time.

Answer

Yep, flex your foot if you get one.. That's about all you can do when they start coming on 😩 I know that pain!! Been dealing with it since I hit the 3rd trimester... Just been trying to eat bananas and staying hydrated. Also, I've read that making sure you don't cross your legs for long periods of times helps too!

Eat a banana before bed 🤗 or pickles
