hi all my sil is 36 weeks with her 3rd child. she has been told that baby is engaged. last few days she is experiencing very bad cramps in her legs which can be very painful. she has got a 1 year and a 3 year old so needs to be as active as possible still. has anyone any tips or advise to get through it or to ease the pain, i have got 2 children but never experienced this

I had horrible pains going down my legs when I was pregnant. Luckily for me it was my first and I was on maternity leave so I could rest.
Thats all she can do really. Get as many people as possible to help her out, look after the kids etc and she needs to rest. Its her bodies way of telling her to do this. She could also take paracetamol but it probably won't take all the pain off.
