charlie horses and major leg cramps!

Any good cures?? Can't sleep! 10 hour work day+ full time mom with 2 active daughters (4&2) 34 weeks along with baby #4. Rest is not any easy commodity. How can I get rid of these I just want to sleep a few hours!

Tonic water...heat pack on backs of legs...or hot
Water bottle. Stretching sometimes helps.  Or just
More fluids...
I had them bad a few weeks ago....they seem to
Have gone but came bk with a vengeance yesterday... heat pack seems to do the trick for
Me...
With my 1st I drank tonic water.... ( not the nicest
Taste) but it worked then.

I wake up in the middle of the night with looks like a seizure from the damn pain of cramps I get them so bad my legs hurt the next day as if I worked out! What I find that helps is before bed I lay down and roll each ankle a few times I also peddle me feet back n forth like point your toe and flex as of your stepping on the gas. Do that a few times on each foot and go back to the first move I do each excersise about two or three times I find that this has been the only thing to help hope it works for u!
