Totally normal.
My OB told me to take two Tums before bedtime and once I started doing that I had no more issues at night.

Re: leg cramps...
I've had this for a while now. I read it was normal in What to Expect...

Completely normal. I found that when I got them, if I stood with my foot flat on the floor as quickly as possible (tough to do when you're pregnant, i know) they would go away quicker. And the Tums helped too.

Re: leg cramps...
I heard Calcium helps (which may explain the Tums). So I try to drink milk right before bed.

yes! I got them a lot in the third trimester with my daughter. it was when I did too much and didn't drink enough water that day.
