  Hey girls, just popped over here to have a look and i think i can help. Try drinking Tonic water... i swore by it in my pregnancy as it contains quinine and can help with leg aches.cramps. Hope this helps xx

  Hi Dinks- I had this with my first baby and used to get it so bad my thumb would go numb and wake me up! I went to the docs and they said its carpel tunnel syndrome, which I think is when the ligaments have pressure on them in the wrist hence the cramps. Not much to be done I am afraid- sorry- I remember it being reallly annoyingxxx

  No leg cramps just restless legs which is horrible at night and a few random cramps in my hands.

  I was worried that is was signs of bad circulation/blood clots - I am seeing my GP about it tomorrow to put my mind at ease. I will let you know what he says.
  
  Thanks, XX
