Really though? BOTH of them at the same time????
Last night I woke up to BOTH legs starting to cramp at the SAME time!!!! That has never happened before! I got out of bed and stood up so fast, it was like my life depended on it (stopped the crap from getting any worse). One leg is bad enough...can't imagine full on charlie horse in both at same time!
What is it about bananas that they say works on them? Is it the potassium or magnesium? The reason I'm asking is since I became PG I have craved fruits very high in both (bananas, watermelon, apples) and when I cut back for any reason (like I ate them all) I get the cramps.

Its the potassium in bananas thats supposed to help.
With my other 2, once I got further into pregnancy, I would get the double leg cramps even after eating 2 bananas a day. I hope it doesnt get so bad this time around

I was getting the leg cramps all the time, and I was eating a lot of Bananas at the time. The only help I could get for them was Tea By Earth Mama Angel Baby. 2 helped me with it, third trimester tea, and Peaceful Mama Tea. they both taste okay, and are about 6$ at BRU.

DRINK WATER. My OB, chiro and massage therapist all said its dehydration that mainly causes it

I've upped my water intake weeks ago so i don't think that's the problem. I'm getting enough as per my doctor now.
It was horrible. I am usually fine as long as I drink enough and eat at least one banana per day. I ate my last banana on Thursday and was planning on going to the store to get more those and more apples.

How does watermelon agree with you or apples? I was researching what was behind my crazy love affair with these fruits since pregnancy and from what I've read they are high in magnesium and potassium.
