I know how awful leg cramps can be. Until I lost 90 pounds, I used to get painful cramps in my legs almost every night. There are many helpful comments on http://www.nolegcramps.com/ that explain why leg cramps can occur and solutions for getting rid of them. When I started to eat better and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, my leg cramps disappeared. One of the reasons you can leg cramps is from dehydration - so always drink plenty of fresh water everyday!

I had horrible leg cramps with my first pregnancy–drank lots of water, etc. Had completely forgotten about them when I was pregnant a second time. Then one night I had the awful cramping again, the kind that make you jolt up in bed in pain. Asked my midwife and all she said was–I kid you not–”Don’t point your toes.” I swear to god… I never pointed my toes and I never had another leg cramp.

Yay for only 1 month to go!! And good info to know… Were the leg cramps like Restless Leg Syndrome? I had that really bad too. I’m glad the water worked… although, were you up running to the bathroom all night instead of up with leg pain??
