Pain...

We've all experienced them at somepoint in our lives and they're not always the most pleasant, especially when it wakes you out of a deep sleep.

I'm referring to leg cramps.

Last night I had the third one so far in this pregnancy, and man, these can hurt! I was asleep and I could feel it begin. I was trying to avoid the feeling of stretching my legs but I couldn't stop which only made the cramps worse! I was trying to rub the pain away without waking up Dan, but I think I was moving so much that eventually he woke up.

I'll be okay with these if they continue to be sporadic but if they become consistent, it might make me cry. One of the ways to relieve them is to stand on a cold surface, but the only way I can stand on a cold surface is to walk there and these leg cramps really won't let me walk away. It's like a Catch 22...

Hopefully these do not become frequent visitors...
