Toe Cramps! Ouch!
So I have a new pregnancy symptom this week and it is NOT a fun one! Toe cramps! Who knew?! I never had any type of toe, foot, or leg cramps with Dacen so this is new to me. However, this started happening to me yesterday. I was walking just like normal and then all of a sudden my toe cramped up really bad. So bad to the point it almost dropped me to the ground. I can walk just fine but then all of sudden when I bend my toes a certain way it hurts really bad. Toe cramps didn't come to mind at first. I thought maybe I hurt it when I fell this weekend. Yep! I was a big klutz and was walking out the door of my bedroom while looking down reading my iPAD and Dacen had parked his trike right in front of the door. So yeah I ran right into it fell over. Thankfully, I was okay just some scratches and bruises. So I thought maybe I bruised the bottom of my foot or something. But then tonight as I was walking around the house it started happening to my other foot. So I googled it! Of course! LOL! Come to find out it is a common thing with pregnancy. I did read that getting more calcium and potassium can help and also drinking more water! Guess I will be going and buying me some bananas to eat! I am just hoping this goes away soon because it's really painful when they hit and really uncomfortable walking around scared to move your toes! If you know of any other ideas that help keep these cramps from happening please let me know! Maybe I will try getting a pedicure to massage them out!
