Leslie -- leg cramps??
Hey, Leslie -- how did you end up getting rid of your calf cramps (or did
you?)? I just had a horrible one this morning -- I think I scared DH with my sudden burst of obsenities... Of course, he progressed very rapidly from "what's wrong?? are you OK???" to "stop screaming and TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG???" -- as if I was purposely *not* telling him. :P So did you try the calcium or what?

((emily)) I know how bad that feels!!
I have not had any more. I take calcium and magnesium some times. But honestly, I am having trouble making myself take my vitamins at all. this is going to sound crazy but it just seems like too much work. All I want to do right now is sleep or sit in a chair. I believe I am depressed.

Leslie I think I am depressed as well... think it will go away when the baby is born or do you suspect PPD this time as well? i had to force myself to do "nesting" things like clean out a spot to put the bassinett and put safety locks on the dresser in Bonnies room because she keeps taking all the cloths out.. now I have to force myself to put all the cloths away again *sigh* Last night DH woke up to go to work and he asked what I did that day because the house was a wreck and the dishes still where dirty and I said "absolutely nothing.." I had not even made supper at that point other then for Bonnie. Tori -- Bonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 |

Hey, Leslie -- how did you end up getting rid of your calf cramps Eat a banana. The thinking with leg cramps is not enough calcium, magnesium and potassium. If you can incorporate foods with these things in them, then the cramps will go away. -- Sue (mom to three girls) |

I believe I am depressed. From what you write, I believe you might be as well. Have you mentioned this to your doctor? S/he might have some suggestions for you that don't include medication. I can't remember what my dr had me do a few years back...I think she had me add vitamin E supplements, then put me on BuSpar. (I wasn't pregnant at the time BTW, and I've been off BuSpar for 2 years now) I remember feeling just soooooo tired, like my blood was lead within my veins. I could barely keep awake at work, but couldn't stay asleep at night. The whole deal sucked. If you feel even vaguely like I did at that time, I feel for you and I hope you feel MUCH better really SOON! Hugs, Rebecca |

i usually get my leg cramps when i strecth my legs. ive prevented almost
every one and this is what you do. when you feel one coming on or it has already started just put your foot down and put pressure on it or with your leg straight out, tilt your foot straight up towards your body. it works! http://community.webtv.net/lindo_84/LindysPictures |

Thanks, Lindy -- I will try that! I did notice that making an effort not
to stretch my legs seemed to help. It's such a habit when I wake up, though!! Em baby boy, due Nov. 18 |

Well, in my first three pregnancies I felt find all during pregnancy, then cried constantly for about a month after each one. Last time I had a lot of the anxiety I am having now, and really reltaively no ppd, just a little weepiness at the beginning. This is the first time I can recall feeling depressed, and I hope it means I'm going to feel great after she arrives! If I don't, though, I'm going to be looking for drugs pretty damn quick. i had to force myself to do "nesting" things like clean out a spot to put the bassinett and put safety locks on the dresser in Bonnies room because she keeps taking all the cloths out.. now I have to force myself to put all the cloths away again *sigh* Yes, oh yes, everything is such an effort. Thank God, we finally went out today and found a chest of drawers so I can put all her clothes away. Then I will really feel I have accomplished something. Last night DH woke up to go to work and he asked what I did that day because the house was a wreck and the dishes still where dirty and I said "absolutely nothing.." I had not even made supper at that point other then for Bonnie. Sounds like me. I rarely manage to make a decent dinner . . . luckily my kids are old enough to fend for themselves. If I make one phone call in a day I feel I've done a lot. Of course, there are certain things I have to do every day: the laundry, the dishes, picking the kids up from school, homeschooling Teddy. But the mess remains.
