Brief Answer:
Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is common to have cramps in last few months of pregnancy but these cramps should come and fade away in a while.
In case they stay for long or start coming too often then it is not a good sign.
She must be taking calcium tablets already but ask her to take it regularly along with good amount of milk daily.
I usually prescribe neurokind LC to my patients for 1 month for thus problem so in case she feels the problem more often she can visit her gynecologist and get a prescription for the drug which is routinely given and is easily available.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Not an emergency
Detailed Answer:
No dear this is not an emergency at all and just a matter of observation of the pattern.
In case these cramps come too often then visit your doctor and see if it subsides with pain killer tablet.
Till then keep taking calcium supplements, milk and water daily and see if it helps.
