Make sure you drink lots of liquids during the day. Leg cramping can be from dehydration.

Eat a banana before bed. The potassium in them works. Also do calf stretches before bed. You can look it up online how to do them. I'm horrible at explaining things like that lol. Both of those things together should work:)
This is our 5th pregnancy and I've done both of these things and it works.

Put a cold rag on the places it hurts.
