Major leg cramps

I just passed my 16 week mark and I am experiencing some major leg cramps. I couldn't make it to work today because sitting or standing is so painful for me. The pain starts at my knees and goes up to my thighs. The only thing that helps is to elevate my legs while lying down. I have not been taking my pre-natals on a daily basis, so I thought I was low on calcium. I did have my 1st cup of coffee yesterday, that's one new thing I have done since I got pregnant. I hope this isn't something that stays with me the next 6 months. It is literally unbearable!!!

Lauren had the same problem. She had to take a ton of magnesium. It did help. We found this out after the trip to the hospital :(
