Middle of last night, turned over, and whammo!  Cramps in both calves!  My
left leg was so bad I had to call to DH for help -- I just couldn't straighten
it at all!
I've had so few cramps this pregnancy I thought I'd miss out altogether...

Ladies: get off your sacrums to deliver! Roll on your side, squat, get on
