Leg cramps!

20w3d

Oh my goodness, these things are no joke! I wake up out of a sound sleep several times a night because of these suckers. Right now they're limited to my calves...I sure hope they don't start to affect my entire legs.

I really try to eat only locally grown fruits and veggies, hence my weekly trip to the farmers' market. But in an effort to kick these cramps to the curb, I've resorted to eating bananas for the potassium. Even though my conscience nags at me for it. So far though, the bananas aren't helping.

I heard an old wives' tale somewhere that says placing a bar of soap under the sheets at the foot of the bed will help. And I'm about ready to try it!
