Leg cramps already?

in January 2016 Moms
My legs cramp up like at the end of the movies. This morning I kinda stood still and peeled potatoes for like 10 mins. When I tried to move I was super cramped. I know his could happen in the last trimester. Anybody else having it already?

    I haven't had any leg cramps yet but I remember how terrible they were last pregnancy.

    @andrea0418 did you have them in the first trimester of your last baby? Just wondering if I should mention to my gyn. Hubby thinks I'm just paranoid, which is also partially happening.

    I get pains at night. I can still remember the pain from charley horses in my legs last pregnancies!! I've heard it's lack of potassium??? :-?

    Then maybe I should mention it to the doctor. Thanks @andrea0418 . I'm so glad for the heads up on potassium deficiency @mollyj931. Hopefully I will get it checked in the upcoming visit. Hugs to both of you >:D<

    I have one in my calf too!!! I am also paranoid and got myself worried about a blood clot... I'm debating if I should go in to get an ultrasound still, lol BUUUUT, after reading this, it does make me feel better and maybe it is just pregnancy!!! Thank you :-)

    My pregnancy with DD I had horrible restless legs at night during the first tri. After about 13 weeks I very rarely experienced them.

    This is my 2nd pregnancy and I just experienced the worst leg cramp EVER just last night. I never went through it with my first. This pregnancy is definitely different

    My doctor told me at my 8 week appointment that if you are having trouble with cramps take some TUMS. She said it's a deficiency in calcium and it'll make them better because the TUMS have a lot of calcium in them. I had them so badly in my first pregnancy. No one ever told me what to take to help them and when they started this time I tried what the doctor said. I haven't had any more problems.

    I'm 12weeks today and have been having cramps since about a week or so ago. It's normally for me, when I walk. Just sometimes. But it will be from the top of my butt to my ankles. It's so painful!

    I know this is an older post but I wanted to search before posting. My restless legs are out of control every night now that I'm trying to sleep on my sides. I have tried more calcium and potassium. It's my calves, thighs. And even hips get achy during it. My doctor said it was normal but I'm lookimg for things that have worked?? Besides what I have tried.
