RLP help!!!

Mamaengen

what do y'all do to alleviate RLP? It hurts SO bad that sometimes when I lay down it keeps me awake and at other times it wakes me up in extreme pain when I'm getting the rare late-pregnancy sleep. Stretches? Dietary options? Anything you can offer?

Are you talking about restless leg syndrome? I have heard taking magnesium helps

I have RLP also and have not found a cure yet. I find it helps just to relax a while before heading to bed and immediately laying down. Also, I prop my belly on a pillow when I lay on either side and put one between my knees.

No, it's round ligament pain. It feels like Charlie horses or knife stand in the lower abdomen. Hurts so bad! It didn't get nearly so painful with my other two.

That's kind of what I do now, but it's not much help.

Mamaengen I just keep telling myself that we don't have too much longer! I am due April 28th so 10 weeks from today! It will go fast and then the pregnancy "symptoms" should get better. :-)
