Getting enough fiber and calcium has been a constant struggle for me throughout the pregnancy. I started getting major charlie horses at night - sometimes 3 times within a span of 8 hours. PAINFUL! I brought this up to my doctor and she recommended that I drink more water, get more potassium, and calcium in my diet. I didn't want to take any supplements and would rather do this naturally so decided to get creative. Yogurt bowls were a natural addition because it would fill me up and check those boxes. Probiotics and fiber are a plus to keep me regular. :D
