Charley Horse

So I am 31 weeks now! I can't believe I have been so blessed this far.
Yesterday I flew home from a mini-vacation in Boston. The first flight
was long (4hrs) and very turbulent - the "fasten seatbelt" sign was on
during the entire flight! I loved when I got up to use the restroom a
few times and the flight attendent said "The fasten seatbelt sign is
on!" Uh...ok, but that still doest change the fact that I REALLY have
to pee and have a baby sitting on my bladder!! The second flight was a
little over an hour and turbulent also. So...not great pregnancy
conditions.

I finally got snuggled up in bed at home in the wee hours of the
morning. At about 4am, I woke up with intense pain in my left calf -
hello, chalrey horse!! It felt like it lasted forever but it probably
actually only lasted a couple of minutes. I thought I was going to
die. Ugh. I think I know the unfortunate culprit though... Wearing
heels (albiet small ones) through the airport! Bad Bonnie. I sure paid
for that one.

On a side note, I've read that labor sometimes feels like a Charley
Horse - has anyone else experienced this?
