Leg Cramps

I am almost 3 weeks out and for the past couple nights I have been having leg cramps. I tried increasing my water intake. I know it could be a lack of potassium. Any suggestions? Thanks, Julie

I had the same thing about 3 weeks out. I was so misserable. It hit me late at night. What I did that helped and I have not had them since is I drank some pedialite, and lots of water. It went on for about 3 days before I finally got some rest. As a hint dont get the bubble gum flavor it was yucky! The apple flavor watered down like you do your apple juice as ok. Hope this helps, Lisa

Julie, Dr Mikami prescribed me some horse pill potasium pills. They are huge, but done seem to cause any problems. Janice in the office suggested I cut them in half and take them that way. Love ya, LM

Hey sweetie! You should let Dr. M know about it, and eat some bananas! You can buy potassium supplements over the counter too! But, you really should let them know so you can get your levels checked. We don't like to mess around with potassium levels ok? Hugs, Val
