    I had hooooorrible RLS with my first pregnancy. It lasted the whole time! I would suggest some deep blue cream (similar to icy hot, but without the chemicals)

    This and charley horses are common pregnancy symptom. Try to increase water intake and make sure your getting your vitamins

    I am having it too. First pregnancy I only had it at the end. I was told too it was too early for symptoms. I noticed a good walk at night and lots of water has helped a lot!

    Yes I have it every time. It's annoying. I hear tonic water is great for RLS. If you like the taste try that. I love it!!

    It's terrible! Before getting pregnant, I would get it sometimes but it was managable. Now it keeps me awake! I can't stand it! I'll definitely try the deep blue cream. I try to get lots of water during the day but at night if I drink too much before I go to bed I have to get up and pee 3-4 times before I fall asleep!

    It's been killing me too! I've used some icy hot this past week when it got really bad and it seems to help. I also read until I pass out with my book open. Keeps my brian focused on something else, other than the creepy crawly feeling in my legs.

    I've had rls most of my adult life, when not pregnant I used tiger balm, now I'm too worried to use it! A warm bath gets rid of my rls real fast now!!

    I've found that going swimming in my pool before going to bed helps SOOOO much. If you don't have a pool, then do some excersizes with your back on the floor and your legs up in the air. This sounds weird, but a few kicks and stretches before bed also works wonders for me. If I'm too lazy and don't do this, I go CRAZY. I need to be moving 24/7. Hahaha.

    I have to sleep with a pillow inbetween my legs to feel confortable. I might have to suck it up and invest in a body pillow for my legs.

    Although RLS is a common pregnancy symptom, make sure you are getting your vitamins. When my iron gets low I get RLS.
