Painful leg cramp

Coming to my 3rd trimester. I woke up to a jolting pain on my left leg in the middle of the night. Woke my husband up to help me massaged but I understand that he's too sleepy and only lightly massaged my leg. I've stretched my leg, elevate it but still no use. The pain now shot up to my thigh. What can I do to relieve the pain?

I seldom on the aircon as I'm feeling cold nowadays. Only fan but not directly on me. In the middle of me & husband. Felt like crying with the pulling pain. Never felt like that before.

Hi! This happens to me too, on every pregnancy, drink more (warm) water and fresh coconut water and avoid cold drinks. I also took magnesium supplement frm Dr cheryl Kam website. It helps me tho. Do consult your gynae if unsure 🤗 Take care!
