Awful Lower Leg Pains!

Hello soon to be mommies. I have had very painful cramps in my lower legs (calf muscles). Anyone else had this problem?  It started three days ago with an awful spasm that woke me up in the night. Been hurting ever since. I read it can happen because lower body isn't getting as much blood circulation. I am soaking in warm baths and elevating my feet as much as possible. Seeing the doctor on Thursday and will report it to him. Just wondered if any one else had this issue.

I had been getting awful leg cramps until I started drinking Gatorade. I usually drink one a couple of hours before bed because my cramps always happened while laying down. I haven't had one cramp since I started drinking Gatorade. I hate how expensive they are but it works for me! Good luck!
