Yes, it is normal. I am five weeks pregnant and get those cramps usually when I am asleep. This is my second pregnancy and I would also get those with my first pregnancy.
Whenever this happens just try to stay still or try streching your leg. If you try to massage it, it won't help much. Congrats.

You most commonly don't have anything to fear approximately. Cramps in legs can also be brought on via extreme cramps in abdomin throughout a interval.

Your fine, when the cramps come in your calves in the middle of the night turn your feet to the wall and press the bottoms flat against the wall. This will stop the pain but keep pressing against the wall while you massage the calf muscle then you will be able to go back to sleep.

usually when you get cramps in you legs you are lacking potassium, so eat some bananas. and when you get cramps in you legs don't massage it out it will make it worse you should flex you foot back and forth until the cramp goes away. I got them often when i was pregnant and sleeping.

It could be siactica. I had it really bad with my first child. Make sure you are resting and try to avoid high heels. Also, make sure you are getting enough liquids, it could be a muscle cramp due to dehydration.
