The Mayo Clinic website recommends stretching the calf muscles, staying active, taking magnesium (check with your doctor first) or eating magnesium-rich foods, staying hydrated and choosing proper footwear. After the cramp, they recommend walking around, elevating the leg and/or taking a warm shower or massaging the muscles with ice.
I've been doing most of those things, but I suppose I can try to do more of them.
Did you have leg cramps during your pregnancy? What cures did you find worked?
