Tell you bd or someone around you to pull your foot towards you and that should stopp leg cramping or strech your foot towards yourself stops the cramp immediately :) ! That's what i do

Plenty of water and bananas do help. When dehydrated they happen MORE. but when you do get them, It hurts but STOPS them Quickly.  Lay on ur back. Take and pull ur toes up facing ur fave it pulls the muscle and stretches it and stops it always almost IMMEDIATELY for me. My dr had given me that tip..  Good luck :) they do hurt hopefully it helps you ladies too :)

I'm 30wks and been having leg cramps since.I was 20wks it's worst now sometimes it's in both legs to my foot at the same time a couple times while I was driving I have had to pull over. I have tried soaking in salt it slows them down or my husband rubs them that's about it that helps me thru
