leg cramps that mess up nerves.

Hi im 38 weeks pregnant and some nights i wake up with really bad shooting pain all up in my calf muscle that lasts for atleast 5 to 10 minutes and i scream like bloody murder it hurts so bad, 2 nights ago was really weird because my foot turned inwards and i was not able to move it atall, like it was paralized.... and now i feel like somethig is wrong with my foot because everytime i walk its curving inwards and my whole leg hurts to where it feels like i pulled a really large muscle... i dont know what is causing this, i hear you get leg cramps when your pregnant but should they be this bad?? And what should i do?

I've been getting these and from what I know it has to do with the sciatic nerve lol... It only happens in one leg and for me it's my left leg. My baby sits in my back and is pinching nerves lol so yay... I'm ready for this to be over.
