baby takes what it needs from your body.

It's probably a potassium and/or magnesium deficiency .

I take a triple dose of potassium and a double of magnesium when i'm pregnant, but I'd talk to your dr about how much you should take

I had leg cramps and foot cramps with my DD and I am starting to get them again. They suck.

Eat extra amounts of potassium. This usually cures the leg and foot pains for me. Bananas and potatoes or you can take an extra supplement if needed.

Put a bar of ivory soap, or even just a cheap hotel bar of soap under your fitted sheet down by your legs. I put mine in a sock so it won't make a mess if it breaks. I haven't had a cramp in 3 weeks since I did this and I was waking up every night with them. I can now point my toes in bed and everything. It doesn't work for everyone but I was the biggest skeptic and it worked for me. Doesn't hurt to try right?
