Re: Leg Spasm!!!!!
After i got them, I would have a banana and glass of skim milk before bed every night.
Be careful about gatorade - there's too much sodium - especially if you are prone to swelling

Re: Leg Spasm!!!!!
also when you get a spasm don't point your toes - flex youe heel out higher then your toes

Re: Leg Spasm!!!!!
What the other ladies said.
But also I find if I get one, I stand up. I dont put any pressure on the leg that is cramping but just the standing helps the blood flow and it ends pretty quickly.
Its a pretty common side effect of pregnancy! I only get them when I am pregnant!

Re: Leg Spasm!!!!!
I agree about the bananas and fluids but also make sure that you are walking around every hour or so if you sit a lot during work.

Re: Leg Spasm!!!!!
I've been having spasms more and more lately. It's driving me crazy, the horrible pain. It's even happened where the spasm was so bad that it continued all day.
Drink LOTS and LOTS, that's all I keep hearing.
