Hi foxy! Welcome :)
I dont want to jinx myself but I dont get leg cramps and I didnt with the other 2 either but I definitely feel very lucky for it, leg cramps are awful!! I do however have super bad aching hips that tend to keep me awake at night along with SPD which is now making me walking like a wonky penguin lol
My doc said I'll have a growth scan at 34 weeks. I'm excited, I've never had an ultrasound that late as I haven't made it that far along with ds2 or 3.
TT, have you had a cerclage before? I had one placed at 13 weeks and am a bit terrified to get mine out as I've read it can be painful for some women, although others says it was a breeze. I'll be stalking you for updates!
I get leg cramps too. Really bad!! But I don't get them if I drink lots of water. Make sure you guys are staying hydrated.
Welcome foxy!
No one has mentioned a growth scan to me yet. I had tons of ultrasounds with my other 2, but not near as many this time.
I had leg cramps with the other 2, but I've been drinking a lot more water this time, and eating bananas. They say they can be caused by dehydration, or a potassium deficiency, but who knows! I do get lots of hip pain too! I toss and turn all night, and I have to physically get up to roll over.
Anyone who has had the raspberry leaf tea, did you have any kind of strange reaction to it? I drank my first cup last night and it was so yummy. Then later on, I suddenly felt extremely nauseous. Tmi- I kept feeling like I needed to have a bowel movement and went 3-4x in about 10 minutes. I also felt dizzy. Then when I laid down, I started shaking uncontrollably. I was thinking of going to the ER when it all stopped as fast as it came on. It only lasted probably 30-45 minutes total. I don't know if the tea caused it or not. I really want to keep drinking it, but not if it makes me feel like that!
Winn~ (((hugs))) You're a wonderful mom and accidents like these happen, though it's much harder on our hearts than our kids. No, this is my first cerclage too but feel free to stalk away. :) My peri didn't sugar coat it and said I will be uncomfortable, and there is that small chance I could have to be numbed in the hospital. I had mine placed when I was 12 weeks so I totally understand being nervous. Fingers crossed that both our removals will go smoothly! xx
My legs have issues, I can't give them a really good stretch without feeling like I'll bring on major cramping.
Oh dear hun that doesn't sound good I hope your ok. Maybe your allergic to something in it? XxQuote:

Ah man, I was so excited because it tastes like regular tea to me which I have avoided for years due to caffeine issues :( I couldn't find anything on reactions or side effects, besides the rare occasions of slight nausea or diarrhea. And that it could cause low blood sugar, but I ate dinner right before I drank it. I thought maybe it was the Mexican food I ate, but it was so short lived.
It might have been the Mexican food I suppose the only way you'd know is to try it again or maybe try a different brand of the tea. But I personally would be worried if I'd reacted like you did.

I made it like half strength too. I will probably try it again, and if it happens again I definitely won't drink anymore. I'll be super bummed though, I want to drink it just because I like it!
