Cramps are normal, take magnesium tablets they resolved my leg cramps and also restless legs completely. Also cramps are something to do with diet, salt and water but can't remember exactly so read up on that too.
Drink water and see if u can take magnesium pills ask ur dr if u can they help
Totally normal, try putting a pillow at the end of your bed so the blankets don't rest on your toes, the extra little bit of pressure use to set mine off every night
I am 37 weeks pregnant and I have had this issue too. They suggested to take iron tablets which I did and it really helped. Speak to your doctor. Good luck mumma!

Please go and see a doctor about this question - or ask the midwife on your next visit. I hope they are able to help
