Although overweight, I'm pretty active, I take a multi vitamin every day, and have been exercising regularly for about 3 months now. Lately, I've been getting a lot of leg cramps. But the weird thing is that it only happens during sex. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Thanks!

Sounds like you have a very busy routine. Another thing you may want to try is moderately warm baths (nothing over 100 degrees is safe for you and baby - so keep it luke warm), heat pads on the cramped muscles and stretching those muscles throughly and gently before you lay down at night. Your midwife will have other suggestions too -- they are trained more so than us on these things. Congrats!

Drink water and take potassium. Potassium has something to do with leg cramps. And....perhaps you should stretch your muscles a little before sex. Sure couldn't hurt....at least not as much as the cramp, and it won't interrupt your fun.

Increase your daily potassium intake by eating at least 3 servings of fruit a day. Also, take calcium-mgnesium-zinc pills with each meal. Most cramps respond well to magnesium supplementation.

Have plenty of water. Check your Uric Acid levels.

You are lacking Potassium, eat bananas.
Drink lots of water as well.
This should help.

You need more potassium.
