Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[cvd]

Hi all. I have been awake half the night with my calf muscle going into cramp. It still feels really tight and that one wrong move will cause it to cramp again. I have never had this before and was wondering if anyone knows the causes or cures bar jumping out of bed to stretch it

Sorry to hear Pearl, I hear those are pretty common, I haven't had it before so I can't offer any tips but just hope it gets better soon! Us pregnant mama's need our SLEEP!

Hi Pearl,

I suffered from leg cramps in first two pregnancies on and off...they are horrendous and tend to come on at night when you go to bed and want to sleep. In order to avoid them in this pregnancy I am taking 300mg of mag every evening and so far so good. That's what my doctor recommended anyway. Three or so weeks then before due date you are supposed to stop as mag as it can interfere with contractions. I am having a planned c section so I will be taking it right up to my c section date! Hope you get some relief soon!

Ouch, I had that in the first two pregnancies and it really hurts. My dr said mineral imbalance too. It used to leave my legs bruised for a day or two after. Hope it stops soon.

Thanks ladies. I was cramp free last night so I hope it was a one off thing

Hi CVD,

I am having a planned one because I had one with the other two boys too. I tried both times to give birth naturally but both times in labour they didn't move into the birth canal. All those hours of contractions for nothing! So this time around my OB said I should go for a planned which suits me. I personally never have to experience a contraction again (and the epidural didn't work both times so I have no pain relief fall back!). Will be meeting the head doc in the hospital in a few weeks to get a date. I am guessing maybe a week or two before due date of the 9th July...so maybe a june baby! I personally don't find c sections a walk in the park either, but it is the way it is.

Gosh less than 53 days till yours...that's no time away. I must say I am dreading the last 3 months of pregnancy! I am small so I get a massive tummy by the end of it! Hope you are keeping well and not too stressed about your rental issue.

Hi everyone! Sorry, I've been away from the boards for awhile. My mom was very sick, then passed away. I started having contractions and have been on bedrest. Finally got over all that stress and went on a mini vacation. I am so glad to be home! I have missed so much on here and I have a bunch of pages to read!

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I am glad that you were able to get away on a mini vacation though I'm sure that it was good for the healing process.
