Leg Cramps
Friday afternoon during my short interrupted cat nap I experienced a leg cramp, commonly known as a "Charlie Horse". And since said leg cramp occured my leg has been hurting to the point that simpily walking around the house hurts. I have tried a hot bath, ice and heat, stretching and Matt has even rubbed it though it was painful. If anyone has any thoughts on how to get the pain to go away I would love the advice. Normally I would take some Advil since it is an anti-inflammitory but since I am pregnant that is not allowed. So please send along your advice. And of course the last Charlie horse I had was when I was pregnant with Abby.

Eat a banana and drink a glass of milk.
You get leg cramps when you're lacking in something. I think it's potassium.... but a quick web search says it's calcium.
captain stomack- is on the right track. your not lacking tylenol or asprin that's for sure, pregant or not. maybe stretching and the other nutrients as c.stomack said. Swimming may help.
The only reason I wanted Advil was to take some of the pain away. My leg was really hurting. Swimming is a good idea but it also a lot of work with two kids who either can't swim or are barely swimming.
