This is common but..: This is a common problem in pregnancy. Rarely it represents a deep venous thrombosis or blood clot. If in particular one side is more swollen than the other imaging studies should be done. Taking magnesium as directed on the bottle over-the-counter can help these symptoms. Additionally, it may help improve sleep as well as bowel movements.

No: Cramps can happen during pregnancy but severe pain in legs or calf area is a concern and should be evaluated ASAP: please consult with us to know how far along you are and do you have any shortness of breath. If any breathing issues, go to ER ASAP.
