leg cramps!!!

Why is it that I can chug water thru out the day and still get horrible horrible leg cramps!?!? I'm 29 weeks and 4 days and the last couple of nights I've gotten what I thought to be really bad leg cramps until tonight....I woke up with a leg cramp so bad I was screaming and crying in pain! It hurt so bad and it lasted a few minutes with nothing I could do and now over an hour later it's still tight  . If I can suggest anything at this point ladies drink LOTS of water and stretch every day, and if you have an amazing partner like mine have them massage your legs before bed!
