Charlie Horse Cramps

There was a time in my pregnancy like 2 or 3 weeks ago that I experienced leg cramps which is called the charlie horse. It was painful every time I stand and walk. Thank God it's gone now with the help of exercising my calf at the gym and eating banana every day. I think it helps a lot which I read while looking for a cure online. I have read that it is a normal problem of pregnant women just like indigestion. I am lucky I don't have it now because some of them took months and even their entire pregnancy. Mine only took less than 2 weeks. The only complain I have now is the indigestion but not that bad anymore. I figured out how to not have it at bed time. I just don't eat too much at dinner.

My wife had also experienced that charlie horse cramps when she was carrying our first and only child. It occurred for only two weeks and after that it just disappeared.

I was having leg cramps almost every night for awhile. I am not pregnant. A medication thing. I started eating a banana a day and they went away.
Now you take good care of yourself and the little one.

I hope you don't experience sciatica, I had it in the last few weeks of my pregnancy and it was impossible to sleep.

Hi. Hope you and your baby are well. I had a very difficult pregnancy, but it's all worth it in the end. :) Have a good one!
