Why do pregnant women get leg cramps?

Q: I thought I was the lucky one in my birthing class because I was the only one who had never had a leg cramp. Last night I was sleeping and awoke with the most horrific pain in my calf muscle. It felt like someone had there hands in side my leg tearing apart my muscle. Eventually the pain stopped but now my leg is sore. What causes this to happen to us preggos and is there any way to prevent it?

And i read it takes up to 10 weeks in some women before higher levels of hcg? start to show..well my mom doesn’t want to think im pregnant, she constantly complains about how much i eat and its probably cuz i am suppost to get married in June and i have my dress already..and she refuses to think im pregnant and that being the reason why im eating so much..she just wont think that. My fiance totally thinks i am..just by how i act and what i tell him what is different with me. But my mom..yea i think she refuses to believe it cuz we just spent $650 on a dress..and now i wont fit in it..if i am pregnant…and we’d cancel the wedding tell next year, blah blah blah..and who knows if id fit in it at ALL next year!Well in your opinion, do i sound pregnant to you? Im waiting a few more weeks, if i can wait that long, to get a blood test done. To find out for sure..Er, first yes, id love to be pregnant, SECOND i would NEVER have an abortion and take a life..its wrong and saddening. And my mom said i have to wait atleast a week befopre i can go to the docs again..if i could choose when i could go, id go this weekend!why no, i didnt have intercourse..im a virgin…HAHA!! duuh i had intercourse! How else would i possibley be pregnant????

A: I think you sound pregnant. You could just be stressed out because of the wedding. Your symptoms are matching up but it could all be in your head. Still have your wedding. Sell your dress of they won’t take it back and get a less expensive dress. Go to the justice of the peace and have a nice dinner. Save that money for your baby, if you’re pregnant. Mom will be disappointed but you’re not a baby you’re a grown woman. Make your own decisions.
