About a month ago, the sudden urge to use the potty started. This I can handle, its perfectly normal and everyone understands that. About the same time  a constant back ache aproached, which once again I assume is normal. However, the past week and a half, I have developed cramping. Not the braxton hicks cramping explained in every medical pregnancy book. I got leg cramps. So bad that almost every night I wake up and leap out of bed ( With surprising speed, what with my huge belly. ) and pace back and forth until I can sit down again. Then in the morning I feel like my legs were run over by a huge truck. It got so bad yesterday, that I sat down to speak with my boss. I have a little stool I sit on. Anyway, I went to sit down and got an extremely painful cramp from the top of my thigh all the way to my calf and had to shoot up and walk around. Of course my boss freaked and was like " OH MY GOD!! SHE'S GOING TO HAVE THE BABY!! ". To which I responded, " no.... I just had a leg cramp. " How embarrassing right? ... Oh no it gets better. Sneezing, Coughing, anything with force causes leakage, despite my kegel routines. I've resorted to panty liners. Well now I'm wondering what other strange surprises might pop up in the following months ....

I know we have talked about this in another post. It is terrible! The cramps are relentless. No matter how deligent you are about taking your vitamins and eating all the right foods, there they are. Just know you're not alone.
