Upper Back Pain Children

has anybody had serious cramp in upper legs and lower back when pregnant?
basically i am having the worst cramp ever! i wake up in the night crying it hurts so bad, this is my first child and i am nearly 12 weeks pregnant, the pain is feels as though it starts in the bottom of my back then travels down my legs which ever way i move my muscles seem to spasm and lock then i cant move an im in great pain, is this normal and if so is there anyway of preventing it? and stopping it now? thankyou.
That sounds like siatica nerve (sorry not to sure on the spelling) It means that your uterus is pinching a nerve in your spine, that is causing the pain. Its VERY VERY common in pregnant women.
If you feel like its getting really bad see your doctor to see if there is any pain killers that are safe to take whist pregnant.
Until then i suggest a heat pack .
Good luck xx
