leg cramps

I know leg craps are normal for pregnancy, I will be 8 weeks tomorrow and my leg is a horable amount of pain. Has anyone else had leg craps this early? If she how did you get rid of them? I tried a warm bath and not so much help.

My doctor told me to put the ball of my foot against the wall and press all my weight up against my shin (like a shin stretch, toes towards your shin) it feels sooooooo good!!!! I hate leg cramps :( Water and bananas help, too!

As soon as you start to get one stand up and put as much weight as you can on the leg. I have no idea how come this works but I have gotten the worst leg cramps since the very beginning (im now 38 weeks 4 days) and this is the only way to stop them. Also add more magnesium and potassium rich foods to your diet. Good luck :-)
