Nightmares/Calf cramps

Each night it is a given that I will either have a nightmare about giving birth or wake up with a cramp in my left calf. I have had 3 nightmares so far about giving birth...the first was about me having a C-section through my thigh (don't ask) and I was upset about the scar going across my leg. Another nightmare was I didn't know when I was going into labor until my sister called and told me. Then I couldn't find Gabe to go with me to the hospital. I know these weird dreams are common, but I still have 8 weeks to go! The calf cramping is definitely more frequent than the nightmares (along with having to pee at 11 pm and 1 am). I am normally able to pull on my toes and not make too much noise so Gabe doesn't wake up. The cramps exhaust me though because it takes forever to fall back asleep and then my calf hurts for the rest of the day.  I am so ready for all of this to be over with!! Come on November 9th!!! :)
