Question

I'm 15+4 and jeez can't sleep at night as it is now have crampy legs :-(,
They are hard to keep calm. I'm definitely calling it restless leg syndrome hahaha.

Answer

Thanks Shelby. Will try them out. It's really annoying and no amount of hot water bottles are helping.

Answer

I started getting that problem around 14w and my midwife suggested I start taking magnesium supplements and it really helped.

Answer

You should get some magnesium. Eat a banana before bed.

Answer

I've been told to drink some tonic water before bed for the quinine it contains. I usually add a little cranberry juice to help with the bitterness. Everytime I feel my muscles a little tighter than usual I'll have a glass, and no more cramps!

Answer

I've had intense muscle cramping at night time when I go to bed...especially in my legs. My OB did some blood work and discovered that I'm very low on potassium and magnesium. So there are two major things that can cause the cramping and restlessness. I've been started on supplements and they have worked wonders! 
Make sure you're eating lots of bananas and drink orange juice! Also, some magnesium supplements wouldn't hurt... OB says they are given to women to prevent preterm labor.

Answer

Yep I've been getting this too. I Also take magnesium supplements about An hour before bed and it's helping me sleep more through the night

Answer

Try taking a warm Epsom salt bath, I've noticed my legs to cramp, but I've been taking a bath every other night and it has helped so much
