RLS during pregnancy?

Question

I've been having what feels like restless leg syndrome in my right leg. It used to bother me randomly before I was pregnant, but now in my third trimester it is beyond awful where I get fed up to the point of crying and I can't get any relief and it keeps me awake. Anyone else experienced this? Any tips to help?

Answer

I have rls and normally take meds for it but with pregnancy the meds aren't 100% safe so I try to make due without them. Those "foot brace/ankle compressed socks" u can get at dollar tree work wonders!

Answer

Yes!!! I had it before but it's 100x worse now that I'm pregnant. Dr. said try taking Magnesium, didn't work. I've tried stretching, hot showers, compression bandages etc. Nothing I've found works. It's terrible! I try and stay active during the day so I'm super tired when I go to bed but unfortunately now this week I've been waking up in the morning with restless legs 😩...... On the plus side I've become more limber for the birth lol :) Hope you find something that works for you hun.
