This morning, I stretched my left leg in haste before jumping out of the bed. Ouchhhhhh! I felt my calf’s muscles and flesh twitchedit was awfully painful, that searing, wretched pain! I was screaming a lot! I panicked. I asked M to massage it, but even a slight touch sent me screaming in pain again.

Last week, a friend of mine asked me if I was feeling any cramps and I proudly told her nope. She said that it’s good. She didn’t warn me though that it could be this tormenting!

Fortunately M who was still sleepy stayed cool and told me to remain in the same position until the pain goes away. It worked alright but until now, I am limping when I walk. I realized that I am actually on my third trimester of pregnancy. If my second trimester passed by without any complications, this last semester is proving to be another challenge for me. Frequent trips to bathroom, uncontrollable appetite, and baby’s sudden jerking movements inside my tummywhat’s next?
