Charlie Horse
I woke up this morning at like 5:45 w/ the worse Charlie Horse. I think I said every curse word in the book. My husband woke up & I was not the nicest person and screamed RUB MY LEG!!!! I think I scared the be-jesus out of him!! It actually still hurts. Just another joy of pregancy that I thought I'd share!!

Re: Charlie Horse
That happened to me the other day. It hurt for 2 days after  When I mentioned it to Dr. K, he said yup, it's part of pregnancy.
Feel better.

Re: Charlie Horse
Thats so funny that you should mention this, cause i woke this morn at around 6am with a charlie horse too! It was horrific! I thought i was gonna die... ok not die, but it hurt, and my husband woke up to me screaming... he thought something was seriously wrong like with the baby, and i'm like "HURRY RUB MY LEG, OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Finally it went away... I HATE THEM!!!

Re: Charlie Horse
I was getting them a few times a night a few weeks ago, I'd say when I was around 26-30 weeks pregnant. They seem to not be happening now though. I'd wake up before it got really bad, and I read in a book to lightly point your toes up to the ceiling, so that's what I'd do. Not a forceful point, just almost like little taps, and if I did it early on in the cramp it went right away.
Oh, the joys.....!!
