From what I've been told from my doctor and in the papers she gave me leg cramps are a common complaint. As far as your butt goes.. do you maybe lean too much on your right side when your sitting or lay on your right side alot at night? I dunno.. I'd give your ob a call just to let them know/see what they say. I wouldn't be worried though.
I just went to the doctors yesturday for the same reason. Your pelvic bone is out and your sciatica nerve is being pinched! Do some stretches. Lay down on your back tuck your right leg into your chest and pull your leg toward you as you push your leg away! Dont let your leg win It will help pull the pelvic bone back into place. Also hot and cold packs help. It was so bad for me I cried myself to sleep. My DH made me go to the doctors.

Butt pain could be sciatica. Pain in the butt (literally) but not dangerous or anything. I used to sit on a heating pad, but never really found anything that helped. It did go away around 24 weeks or so for me.
I have sciatica as well. Stretching helps and I also am wearing a maternity belt at work. I think I have seen a difference with the belt, but we'll see. The idea is that it helps lift your uterus off your nerve. It also is supposed to help support the back. Baby likes to kick at it though, lol.
Say hello to sciatica! Heat or cold can work, depending on the person... tylenol can take the edge off, if you're allowed to take it (call your dr). Stretches are good - pelvic tilts, knee to chest, rolling bent knees to one side... Squeezing a ball between the knees can make your pelvic bones even out if they're off kilter...
