hi.
Leg cramps in pregnancy is common.I will advise you to keep moving your legs and feet when sitting or lying in bed. This prevents slowing of circulation of blood because of pressure on pelvic vessels by gravid uterus (DVT). You can try Methyl cobalamine, Vit. E for this, but if not improved consult your gynecologist to rule out any neuropathy.
Thanks.
