It very well could be from the pregnancy the best cure to this is stretching the muscles out. because sometimes fluid builds up in them and that fluid is increased in pregnancy

Not enough calcium and possibly potassium! Do not take over the counter potassium- too much can be deadly! Eat potassium rich foods and calcium rich foods. I had this with my first child and still suffer from it. I also have low blood potassium. Watch for the same symptoms later in life and have a blood workup done to see what is going on. Also, talk with you Ob. Gyn. to get some prescription prenatal vitamins! Good Luck
