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!!Chat Icon

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.....!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
