My docs always just chalked it up to being one of those weird pregnancy things that happens when you're tired. That said, it took until my 4th pg to realize that I was potassium-deficient so that answer makes sense to me. Eat more bananas and potatoes and see if that makes it happen less.

Mine did that and I long thought that it was stress related only to find out that sometimes it is related to sciatic nerve issues and I have been batteling that for years.

For me, it is when I am really tired. Lately, that is almost everyday--especially Friday afternoon after working all week.

That always happened to me , during my pregnancy. I'm sure it was some kind of deficiency. Someone mentioned potassium.

Mine will do that when I'm really tired so I have always associated it with that.

I have always assumed it was a calcium or potassium deficiency, but I don't know for sure. Both electrolytes are involved in regulating muscle contraction.
