Oh yeah, I've heard those are potassium-related, because your body is somehow using up its stores as part of the energy exertion... calcium leg cramps are always the kind you get in the middle of the night, from what I understand. The OB said the problem often starts during your first pregnancy, but then never seems to go away because it can take years to build back up enough of a store after the baby went and sapped the life out of you.
