Oooh, sounds like restless leg syndrome?? I had this and it was so annoying. I couldn't find anything to fix it. It went between about 25 and 35 weeks but came back again after that a little, but not too bad x

 

[anthonyjaye]

do you find when its bad it can last most of the day and come bad more at night

Heyy girls.

I did some research on this too cos i have the same thing! It feels as though your legs are never still doesnt it, or as though you want to keep movin them, iv read it can get so bad that your legs shake constantly.. but thats extreme cases im guessing. Apprently will subside after pregnancy, so we just gotta hold out til then!! x x x

Its another common side effects of pregnancy I guess..i m also getting..It does help if I sit with my legs lifted upwards...on a pillow/table..try that see if it helps..

I can only shift this at night by actually getting up and going downstairs for a drink and moving around a bit before going back to bed.

I have been getting this and yeah I find that getting up and walking about helps or running my legs under coldish water my OH tried rubbbing them but this made it worse, I get it mostly on the right leg xx

 

[amyjayne77]

I only ever got it at night. Really bad too. felt like i had to go and run around the block!

Yep, had this the other night Had to get up and walk about for a bit, then tried a book to take my mind off it, eventually fell asleep, face in book lol!!
I blamed that occasion on the fact we had run out of decaf coffee so I'd had lots of caffeine that day, but it is one of those pregnancy things anyway!!

I get this but only when I lay on my right side. I get a numbness right from the top of my thigh to my knee. Can only lay on my left side now...have no idea why. might mention it to the midwife.

hey hun i get this...really bad tingling and pins and needles....i use a lotion from clarins for tired and aching legs..apply it at night or then as and when needed very good! recommended in pregnancy xx

 

[all_iz_well]

Sorry another thing i forgot to say...i rem they told me in my last pregnancy in the antenatal classes to relieve these problems with legs...to have a banana or a little bit of tonic water before you go to bed! no harm having a try hey xx
