Leg cramps at 5 weeks pregnant

I am currently 5 weeks pregnant and for the last two days I have had the most annoying leg cramp in my right calf. It's not too painful, more like an achey cramp with the odd twinge like feeling. I did mention it to my doctor and she said it was quite normal in pregnancy.......but I thought this was something that would happen alot later on??

Has anyone else had this?

Thanks for reading.
