yeah, when I was mildly dehydrated during my last pregnancy. Lots of gatorade and some salty food usually helped (I didn't have diabetes or high blood pressure). I would probably ask your doctor though.

Thanks I did ask him, he said they were normal and to try stretching excercises before bedtime. I have been drinking a lot more water and they have disappeared. thanks

Hi Lovemy3! Glad to see you are doing well (despite the leg cramps - those suck!) I had cramps really badly several times during pregnancy - I think I remember that it might be related to a vitamin or mineral deficiency - pota__sium or magnesium or something? Sorry I can't can't recall specifically. I do know that it gave me a chance to practice my hypnobirthing breathing techniques!
