Liz headaches and leg cramps are very common in pregnancy. Try ice or heat on your head for the headache and the leg cramps sleep w a pillow between your legs, stretch your legs before bed or try extra calcium (but don't over do the calcium it can cause kidney stones). I hope this helps. If you are concerned it is diabetes related speak with your OB about having the glucose screening done or other testing. Feel better :)

Leg crampings are normal.  When I was pregnant with my first two I would wake up in the middle of the night because of those blimmin leg cramps.  With the headaches could your back be out???  I only say that becuase I had a headache yesterday because I moved a lot of furniture by myself or are you dehydrated.
