Terrible pain in right calf and foot!! why?!?!

in 2nd Trimester

I am 27 weeks pregnant and the other night I woke up round 3 am with a sharp stabbing pain in my calf. it was like a charlie horse where u cant move but ten times worse!! after laying there unable to move or get up it calmed down. But the next morning I could hardly walk.

Later on that day my foot on the same leg started hurting realy bad and now im limping. it feels as if ive sprained it? I have slight swelling in both feet and ankles but it only hurts like this on my right side.

 What could this be and why?? I move around a lot and im only 18 but should I be taking it easier? what can make the pain ease up? thanks :)

    not sure about the foot part, but i had the calf stuff when pg w/ ds.  it was just a really bad charlie horse (imo) and i did limp for at least a day.  then someone said if you flex your foot when you feel it happening, you can stop it before it gets bad and it always worked.  I think that is what you do.  I think if you point, it makes it worse.  I might have it backwards...it's been a long time.

    With DD I had calf cramping nightly and it was always sore the following morning.  Try to inrease your water and potassium (bananas) intake during the day and it should help.
