24 weeks legs cramping

For about a week I have felt like my legs are full of lead. I have tried resting, I've tried exercising but they're so heavy and tired and I feel like they're constantly in a low level state of cramp especially my left calf. I am on aspirin but no heat or redness behind the calf so I don't think there's anything dodgy going on apart from the usual pregnancy crap. Anyone else been through this?

Sounds like restless legs. Unfortunately it's super common in pregnancy

I had cramp in my calves with DC1, it used to wake me up in the middle of the night. Tonic water solved it Confused, I had one glass every day and if I forgot the cramps would come back. No idea why it worked but it was a Google suggestion and worked for me!
