I'm being woken up every other night or so with bloody painful cramps in my calf (usually one but sometimes the other). 24 weeks pregnant.
Apart from this being a really terrible way to wake up, involving lots of muttering hoping not to wake DH up, trying to breathe deeply while hopelessly tweaking leg in various directions all more painful than the last, desparately rationalising it as preparation for labour...and then not being able to get back to sleep... my calves have started to ache during the day. Which isn't good news as I walk a lot and am trying to keep active.
Leg cramps don't seem to be mentioned much in the pregnancy sympton lists, though a bit of googling does indicate a link. Anyone else dreading the 4am shooting pains... and better still... any tips?
