Leg cramps in the night

Emily

Hello,

I am 20 weeks and six days with gestational diabetes. I have noticed my legs swelling a bit (which my doctor said could be from too much salt in my diet) and last night I kept waking up with cramps in my right leg. It felt like a charlie horse in my calf.

Has anyone else experienced this and what did it mean? I have a doctors appointment next week, but I don't know if I should go in earlier to have this checked out.

Thanks,

Emily
