Hey, you massaged in both directions (up and down) or one direction (down)? Heard from my friend supposed to massage downwards towards the feet. This way will help increase blood circulation. Also try the calf stretching exercise whenever you can instead of just when cramp..

For sole, maybe find shoes that have more sole cushion. I used to have that problem with normal shoes, esp when I stand most of the time due to work (teacher). After changing shoes, it helped.

pants actually don't matter as much. I feel top more important. Nursing wear can get some online like thebirthshop.com. in fact, just google "nursing wear" and you have whole range of online stuff.

If shops, I prefer Spring Maternity cos not so expensive. Ask for duo wear / nursing wear. Duo wear means during preg and after preg can wear, usually stretchable materials. Some nursing wear can only be worn after maternity.

May be able to find some at the next baby fair.

I try to describe it. You face the wall, about arm length apart. Push the wall, stretching your calf.
Refer to this video: Basic Stretching Exercises : How to Stretch Your Calf Muscles - YouTube
Another alternative is when seated with your legs stretched in front of you, get a towel and pull toes towards you.

You can also try these. found these on youtube
Exercises for Pregnancy: Calf Raises - YouTube

Just like my baby.. 3rd trimester now I m having difficulty sleeping.. Whole night kicking.. The legs, hands all around.You got to start educate ur baby if he is kicking too much. Tell him.. Just move 10 times per day from 8am-6pm. Can move but don't always kick that hard .. Mummy is painful. U will be surprise that baby listen.

Baby move with soft kicks I will praise n song song. Kick too hard I will smack my tummy especially when his feet poking out. At your later trimester, too aggressive kicking u will feel alot of pain especially when u r walking or standing

Might want to get him to hear classical music / you try listening to classical music. Somehow, esp when i let my girl listen to classical music for 30 min a day, she quietened down and only moves when the music gets louder. Once, i accidentally played rock music, she kicked super hard.

2 ways to go about doing it. one is to get earphones, put on belly and play the songs. The other is you yourself listening. I usually stick the earphone at my waistband and let baby listen while i do other things. Make it a routine like at night, 20-30 min. after sometime, once baby gets used to it, she'll get the cue..

Then again, maybe because I scold students during the day, sometimes forget to pre-empt /pacify her before and after the class, she got a little scared.. first time forget, shouted at students, she didn't move for 2 whole hours. now think she's used to the routine, especially when I speak louder.
