restless leg syndrome?

in 2nd Trimester

I haven't been diagnosed with it, but what I'm feeling sure seems like what would be restless leg syndrome.   When I lay down in bed at night, most nights my legs feel... well... restless.  They feel like they want to move... and sometimes they even involuntarily do.

Anyone else experiencing this?

    I experience this when I'm reallllllly tired. It's an odd feeling. I read somewhere it's normal in PG, but I cant remember where!

    I have RLS at work more often than not. DH has *awful* RLS. I mean really bad, no matter where we're sitting... at home, at a restaurant, at the movies. I always have to tap his knee or try to get him to stop since it drives me nuts!

    I had RLS before pregnancy, but now it is much worse!  It's bad mostly at night.

    Yes, I have this as well. I haven't been diagnosed with it either but I read that it is very common during the second trimester. I used to have it every once in a while before I was pregnant but now it is almost every night.

    I have had it since before I was pregnant, with it being worse now.  The only thing that helps me is hot sleepytime tea if I take it about an hour before I lay down! Good luck!

    Hi! New here and haven't posted on 2nd Tri yet, but I saw your post and had to respond.  I have been having restless legs at night horribly and my mom told me that means I am low on potassium and to try eating more bananas (sounds silly sorta).  But since I have been eating a banana a day and it has really helped. If you like bananas it could be worth a shot!
