Charlie horses?

Question

I'm 27 weeks, and have been getting Charlie horses so severe in my legs I'm waking up in pain. Anyone else? Like a couple days ago I woke up to one and then for the last few days my leg feels like i have pulled muscles in it. What is everyone doing about them?

Answer

As soon as u feel it flex your foot (opposite of point) and it should instantly go away

Answer

Eat a banana right before bed. It helps me.  And if you do get one the pain goes away faster if you can get up and stand on the foot. It hurts like crazy for a little but the pain doesn't keep going like if I stayed in the bed trying to massage it away.

Answer

I eat a banana a day! Charlie horse usually result in not getting enough potassium :)

Answer

Ever since I started taking TUMS before bed for my monster heartburn I haven't gotten any Charlie horses.

Answer

Yup! Get them while I sleep even though I eat bananas every day and drink tons of water. A friend recommended Nuun electrolyte tabs before bed which seem to be working.

Answer

Bananas and more water. Dehydration is often the cause.
