I just googled legs twitching during pregnancy and it showed up that it could be restless leg syndrome. It's very common during pregnancy and only happens when you are resting.
So i don't think it's anything to worry about, but if it becomes very bother some and you can not sleep i found this for u in the article
Coping with Restless Leg Syndrome
The Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation recommends these steps for living and coping with restless legs syndrome:
Talk to others about RLS. Don't hide your condition. Explain your symptoms to others. It helps them be more understanding.
Don't resist the urge to move, but try to find an activity that gets your mind off RLS.
Wrapping your legs is a common coping method when sleeping with others.
Keep a sleep diary, and share it with your doctor. It helps your doctor understand the sleeping problems you experience.
If possible, raise your desktop so you can work and read standing up.
Begin and end each day with stretching.
Consider joining a support group.
When possible, take the stairs. Park your car some distance to increase walking.
Taking hot or cold showers may reduce your symptoms. Rubbing cream or gel on your legs before going to bed may reduce symptoms.
Applying pressure also helps.
When traveling, take morning flights. Explain to flight attendants that you need to move around so your legs don't bother you.
