Charlie Horse. Such a nice, innocent sounding name for that slight cramp you get in the back of your leg from time to time. Well, I got one of those last night. And let me tell you - it was not an innocent Charlie Horse. I've decided this was a visit from his much more intense, crazy older brother - Charles Bronco. During last night's peaceful sleep, I was rudely and suddenly awakened by stabbing pain in my leg. I really thought I was going to open my eyes and see someone stabbing me. I started screaming - scaring my husband to death btw - and reeling from the pain. I read that leg cramps are common during late pregnancy due to restricted circulation... but really? Charles Bronco, you are not welcome here!
I hope the cramps will stop disturbing your sleep at night. But since it's normal during late pregnancy, there's no need for you to feel scared. I think it's like a sign that you'll finally meet your little baby.=)
ReplyDeleteThe leg cramps have seemed to calm down a bit - but now I'm having trouble sleeping. I like the idea that all this means I will soon meet my baby girl : ) I can't wait to see her little face!
ReplyDeleteI Got them really bad growing up... and now that I am preggers it is worse, what works for me is I just stand up,I don't know why but they stop right away as soon as I can streight up...hope it helps you.
ReplyDeleteLOL! So Charlie's brother is more notorious than him, huh? Don't worry, the pain would definitely pass. And hey, your due date is getting closer! Hang in there! :)
