Restless legs

[Suzie and Faith]

anyone else get this? it's driving me mad, i didn't sleep at all last night

 

[Ginnymarie]

i have no cure, i think it is linked with low iron, tonic water some people say helps

i get this terrible i hate it and OH. i cant wait to get this bambino out now so it settles down again.

Yes suffered a lot with it last pregnancy too.

Havent had it a week or so

I find a bath and sleeping with a pillow between the legs help

 

[Suzie and Faith]

I've tried both of those. it seriously does my head in! It's the weirdest most annoying thing. I didn't even realised the condition existed until i explained it to my mum!

 

[Nicola g]

No i didnt realise it had a name till this pregnancy and spotted it my pregnancy book and said to mum 'that's what i have ' lol

 

[Suzie and Faith]

I thought i would be told i was crazy when i said i had to keep moving my legs. Lol. It bugs me that NOTHING relieves it. If you move them then it stops but only until you stop moving them. Lol.
I really hope it isn't bad tonight, i read a whole book last night! Whilst wiggling my legs

 

[Kimbo]

it used to drive me bonkers... best thing is to keep your feet cool

Sounds a bit mad but I'm sure if you eat a banana before you go to bed it is supposed to help

 

[Happybunny]

I get it from time to time, but it goes away very quickly. It is a very odd sensation though, would drive me mad if I ahd it all night.

Hi hunny
hope your restless legs gave you a break and you got a good nights sleep


lol sarah

 

[Gem & Leland]

i still get it now

keeping cold feet helped
laying flat on a floor for a lil while seemed too aswell


sure mine was worse when my back ache was worse

restless leg sydrome can effect at any point pregnant or not i've had it on and off since i was a kid! get some tonic water with quinine in it, quinine naturally helps...dont ask me why something to do with circulation and tonic water is definately safe to drink during pregnancy!

Hope you all get some relief!
