Hi momma hang in there! I feel you.. i had cramps on my bum, calves and toes... felt helpless especially at nights when everyone is sleeping. It's caused by the expension of the uterus and growing fetus that cause pressure on the nerves. Try not too walk or stand too long. Drink lots of water and eat more fibre. Gentle massage will help a little and some stretches ⬇️ https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/sciatica-pain-stretches#next-steps Best to mention this to your obgyn on your next visit. If its unbearable, make an appt quickly.
