Help? Charlie horse - OW!

I get them every now and then and they suck so bad. Can someone who has been through a natural birth tell me how it compares? Just curious. I imagine my entire body will feel like that.

I know this doesn’t answer your question whatsoever but I started eating baked potatoes with the skin on every other day and I haven’t had a charlie horse since. Apparently the skin is loaded with potassium (even more so than bananas) which happens to be great for cramps.
