I asked a question last week about weather or not my leg cramps where normal or not (thanks for the answers).  I decided to look it up further so I could find the cause of it to prevent it from happening.  I have tried a bunch of things and here is what I found worked for me.  I rotate my ankles and wiggle my toes when I am sitting and in the middle of the night.  I try not to stretch in the middle of the night and in the morning if I can help it because I am scared my leg will cramp up. I try not to stand or sit for too long.  If I have cleaning to do I don't so it all at once but instead I clean one room then sit  for a bit.  You don't really want to stand for to long or sit for to long.  If my muscles are sore then I have a warm bath and that tends to help before bed after a long day.  Sleeping in a comfortable position helps and I sleep with a pillow between my knees.  The may one that I noticed worked is drink lots of water.  I find if I don't drink enough watch some days thats when my legs cramp up in the middle of the night.  When I do get these leg cramps at first I cant really move my leg at all and all I wanna do is scream, but once I can kinda move it I stretch my leg and point my toes  upwards.  I find it sore for most of the day but it does go away.  if it is a constant cramp i would talk to your doctor because it could be a blood clot which is common with pregnancy.
