Restless Leg Syndrome?

Dani_LoveDani_Love member
in August 2012 Moms

Does anyone else have this?? It came out of the blue! I talked to my doctor but the medicine he knew of for it was bad for the baby so I said I'd suffer.

Is there any way to relieve it?  The best way to describe it, is like there is anxiety built up in my legs all the time, and they randomly twitch/spasm.  It's been keeping me from falling asleep and making focusing at work difficult.  I have it all the freaking time! Help!!

Thank you in advance!  You ladies are always so helpful!

    I had horrible RLS for about a month straight in the early third tri.  I took extra magnesium and calcium supplements and that seemed to help.  I did take regular tylenol too, when it was unbearable.

    I know it sounds crazy, but having an orgasm takes mine away instantly...

    Weirdly enough, lack of hydration can have an affect on it too. I try to drink tons of water and exercise before bed. (At least when my ankle isn't broken, lol)

    Sometimes I get it so bad. I have to get in the other bed just so I don't bother DH. It's terrible. I don't know of anything you can do though...... It will be over soon enough. I do feel like a crazy women though when my leg starts jerking around.

    Uggghhh. Mine seems to be concentrated in my knees, which I have problems with anyway. My doctor also told me I'd have to suffer. On bad night, I take a benadryl so it knocks me out.

    Thank you for all the suggestions! I'll try the tylenol and benadryl tonight to see if that helps.  I've pretty much been without sex this whole pregnancy (I still get morning sickness and am medicated for it) so I doubt I'll go the orgasm route although it does sound more fun than medicine haha
