Restless Leg Syndrome

[xxbeckyxx]

Am getting this in my arms really bad most nights, anyone else suffering? Any tips on how to deal with it would be much appreciated, I need sleep!!! It help if I get up and do something, but obviously this defeats the point of an early night

Yeah I get this sometimes - unfortunately the only thing that helps me is getting up and moving around. To be honest I have slept so badly all of the pregnancy I'm kind of used to it now and just try not to let it stress me out cos this will only make it worse.
Did read somewhere that tonic water is supposed to help (the quinine in them apparently) and putting legs/arms above your heart cos its a circulation related problem. Haven't tried the tonic water and didnt find that legs above head solved it.
