heat! Can you use a heat pad? I use a big old sock filled with rice and microwave it for 2 minutes. Hot baths too. Helps release the cramping. Hot tea, or even hot water can help too.
For the panic, there are all sorts of methods and I've tried many! - I like Nelly's 5000 idea, though I've never tried it. You can try visualization - I know someone who is able to imagine the pain shrinking slowly and says it works. I've never worked that out exactly, but visualizations from the IBS 100 (hypnosis) program have helped me stop an attack at times. You could also try buying a guided meditation cd from amazon or something - something that will help bring you out of the panic. good luck and congratulations on being pregnant!
