Agreed. Have a banana before bed, and make sure you're drinking water!

Also pickle juice! When I was pregnant with DS my brother told me this - I love pickles so I didn't mind. He learned it from playing sports - apparently many pro athletes do this.
I also found it happened to me when I stretched and pointed my toes - I try to be VERY aware of it and NOT point my toes when stretching.

Re: Holy effing leg cramp!! Remedies?!
I eat a banana every day with breakfast and drink an absurd amount of water and I still get them so Im not sure how to stop them. But as soon as it happens my husband grabs my foot and stretches my toes as far back as they go and it takes it away immediately

The best I can do is to tell you not to point your toes when you stretch.

Re: Holy effing leg cramp!! Remedies?!
Never, ever point your toes. When you stretch, flex your feet instead. Pointing brings them on.
The water and the bananas will help, but from what I've lived and heard, nothing except having that baby will make them go away.
