    I get them to sometimes. But I just push my heel down and that seems to ease the cramp. They only seem to last a few minutes but my calf can ache for days later. I have been taking Blackmores Calcium and Magnesium once a day, but I am considering increasing the dose to twice a day.
    Good luck. Oh I also heard that heat bags can help...

    Yes They are shocking!AND painful
    IN my last pregnancy id wake up in complete shock, I didnt know what was happening!I would practise my labour breaths with every single cramp.
    Ive only had one or 2 so far but I have heard that magnesium (that is a muscle relaxant) will help. I'm going to try the milk and banana trick!
