Hey Bianca,

I get exactly the same thing... last night was horrible and I know what you mean about them still hurting when I wake up my calf still hurts like something is poking into it OUCH! Not fun at all.

When its cramping I just stretch my foot up towards me which seems to release the cramp. Lol no I don't use my hands, bending over my belly and reaching my foot is almost impossible (almost... though I CAN still put shoes on most days LOL!). If it happens while you're awake (or you don't mind waking DP up) then get your DP to stretch your leg for you. I found massage didn't help one bit, and actually made the morning after pain worse.
