Leggo my Leggos

So I'm lying on my left side, sleeping peacefully and semi-comfortably, dreaming of meeting our baby, when out of nowhere, I'm awaken by...a LEG CRAMP!

Clearly, I haven't experienced contractions or labor pains yet, but I'm thinking that they can't possibly compare to the pain, the agony, the torture of a leg cramp!

I read that they are common in pregnancy, but I was just hoping I would bypass this one. So much for hoping.

Honestly, I have never felt pain like this. And I'd like to think that I have a reasonably high tolerance for pain. I may be tiny, but I can take a lot. But not leg cramps!

Let me try to put it into perspective here. Root canals, migraines, dislocated bones, etc., all pleasant experiences when compared to a leg cramp during pregnancy! Oh my goodness, I thought I was going to faint from the pain. I woke up calling out in distress to my hubby, and we all know what good that does, since nothing wakes him up. And the worst part is, you just have to ride out the pain, let the cramp subside, take its course.

Oh my poor legs. Be gone cramps! Leggo my leggos.
