Since around month two of being prego - I have been getting cramps in my calves. Nothing big, doesn't even really phase me. Each time I get them I think myself "Self, we can handle these cramps!" Yes - we could handle those cramps - but not the infamous charlie horse. And oh boy did I get one last night. It came out of no where and smacked me right in the left calf. The words out of my mouth were "Son of a....oooo.....where did...aaaa.....that come from.....ouch!" I am positive I cursed (potty mouth). Those, I can't handle and it's only the beginning!! To all the prego ladies or ladies that have ever been prego - I am so sorry I wasn't more sympathetic. I owe you all ice cream! So if you are awaken in the middle of the night by a blood curtailing scream, it's me, dying of a charlie horse!
PS - Do your emotions ever get better?? Or should I expect to continue crying at everything??
Oh the Charlie Horses. Ouch! I have restless leg syndrome and I HATE it! I have to have Scott stretch my calves almost every night. I'm not sure the emotions ever get better. At least I don't think mine ever have. LOL! Don't feel bad about not "enjoying" being pregnant. It's hard to be upbeat when you just feel icky. You will look back on it later and think it was a wonderful experience and you'll be ready to do it again. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky. I only had one charlie horse while pregnant. I hope yours go away soon!
ReplyDeleteAs for the emotions...pregnancy seems to make you an emotional wreck for a long time. Just like Kristin said, mine have never gotten better! Just keep crying?
Do you have "mom-nesia" yet? Where you forget everything and totally scatter-brained? That's fun! Ha, ha!
