Answer

I had this horribly with my first pregnancy and now I have it again with this one! It’s so frustrating and keeps me from falling asleep. I did some research and I kept reading that they say to wear compression socks. I got some for my first pregnancy and they were so hot and uncomfortable that I pretty much decided not to try it again but my husband insisted I try again so he bought me some athletic compression sock that don’t have any feet on them. Kind of like the ones you seen basketball players wear that go up to the knee. I was having a really bad night so I tried them and OMG like a miracle I was instantly relieved and slept like a baby all night for the first time in forever!! I would def suggest them for you.

Answer

I had it too. Horrible! But this helps me a lot: drink a lot + take a magnesium supplement right before bedtime and put 4 to 5 pillows under your legs when you're in bed. Did wonders for me. Hope it helps you too!

Answer

I had it with my first pregnancy and I started taking a Tylenol pm before bed. It was really just the last couple of weeks for me though. The meds helped me fall asleep and then it didn’t wake me up after that. I mentioned it to my doctor and she said that was fine.

Answer

Omg mine was terrible last night. It woke me up about seven times. And then I woke up another four times to pee. It’s killing me.

Answer

Ive lived with it my whole life, I just shake my legs in bed and I’m so use to it now it rocks me to sleep as silly as that sounds. My husband tells me that my legs continue to move after I’ve fallen asleep 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Yes!!! Did not have it before pregnancy. My husband has had to sleep in the couch it’s been so bad. My doc told me to eat more bananas. There are pills they can give you, but it’s not their first choice. I’ve also heard about lotions. I have not tried that either. Bananas seem to be working for me.

Answer

Yep. It's awful.

Me too!
