[wookie]

I remember seeing an ad in America about the restless legs syndrome,check out this article http://www.babycenter.com/0_sleep-problems-restless-legs-syndrome-during-pregnancy_7549.bc

Yeah restless legs is basically just the most annoying thing ever - it's not painful or anything but you just cannot relax your legs and keep them still, you constantly feel the need to move them cause they are tingling and well...restless!! I mentioned it to my midwife but she said there isn't much you can do....she said it's a circulatory condition. There is medication available but I don't think it's suitable for pregnancy. I have been thinking of going to GP but guess I assume there is nothing I can take anyway!! Thanks all xx

well just think when your baby is here you will get less sleep and at mad times when they sleeping....

I actually seriously think I will sleep better when baby is here! Yes it will be disrupted and at mad times, but hopefully the restless legs will go, I'll be more comfortable in bed and I won't be needing to wee all the time! So at least when baby is sleeping I might actually have a chance of getting some decent sleep here and there, which I am not even getting right now. xx

Awwww sorry Cherelle - I think I must have stolen your sleep! I had the best night's sleep I've had in weeks - didn't get off till after 3am cause of terrible acid indigestion but didn't have restless legs for once and eventually managed to get hours of proper sleep! xx

Dont even get me started on acid reflux! I went to bed the night before last.....shattered! Fell asleep really well then shot upright about an hour later with my throat burning and heaving cos of the dirty acid build up! I was actually choking. I had to sleep bolt upright for a few hours after that! It's amazing how as SOON as you've given birth, most of these things just disappear!

I know - I ate too much bread yesterday and the day before and my God has the acid been bad - had it all the night before last, was so bad I threw up in the morning, then it settled a bit, but ate too much at lunch and it started all over again! Yes I had to sit up bolt upright until about 3am last night because every time I layed down the slightest burp would flood me with acid, it really is awful Definitely can't wait for that symptom to go!! xxx

Try going to your GP, I got given tablets (not sure what their name is) and a bottle of peptus something, really helpful, and free ! Just say you need something for heartburn, they can't really say no x
