Constipated with RLS

alysonmcc

I swear I have developed restless leg syndrome since getting pregnant I feel like there is electricity running through my legs and it is so uncomfortable. I have also not been able to go #2 for 3 days now, I ate a whole bag of prunes, drank a ton of water, took some miralax and still nothing, HELP, I have to get something moving here. Other than the regular throwing up that has been going on.

For me, making a large fruit salad and washing it down with a large glass of Metamucil (sp?) worked wonders.

I totally had RLS with my first pregnancy!  It freaking drove me nuts!  What helped was stretching before bed, but even that would not help always.  You definitely should talk to your doctor about it to prevent sleepless nights.

About the constipation, I have had some too.  I know part of it is just from being pregnant, but another part is the pre-natal vitamins...  I have been taking fiber and it is working perfectly.  Two fiber pills a day sold at any GNC, Whole Foods, Central Market, etc...  I think that they may even have it at WalMart and for sure at Target.

You may need to try a different brand of PNV's.  I was originally started taking Nature's Made when TTC and I was always constipated.  Someone suggested Now brand to me. They are usually found in the organic section of grocery stores.  I take 4 per day vs 1 or 2.  The smaller dosages have helped me tremendously!

I've been constipated too. I've been using Senna and it has worked well.
