Its called muscle cramps and its one of the joys of pregnancy!!

It could be serious though but sometimes you can get blood clots I was told to watch for either red streky skin or elevated skin that is painful to the touch if its nothing like that then enjoy the cramp until after the baby is born!!

Pregnancy is so beautiful!

You are sooo right , their is always something and she is right , do watch out for blood clots.
Then you have charlie horses, sciatica nerve problems, then you have to pee a lot and then other pains and stretch marks and painful boobs and then that wonderful day comes and you ask for a double epidural and you go home and no more sleep for you, oh yes, I remember it well!

Im 11 wks,and have just started noticing pains from my knees down to my ankles when I walk,i have got a vein that is bumpy and bruised looking,and tender when I touch it,is this anything to worry about?
