Restless legs at night anyone?

Question

Please tell me
I’m not alone.

Answer

It's currently 12:36am where I am and I've been in bed fighting with my legs since 10:30! I've been taking magnesium for it and it's pretty much been controlled until the last few nights. I'm so freaken tired I could lose my mind.

Answer

I had restless legs in first and half of second trimester.  Thankfully nothing since.

Answer

Ugh yes! Mine goes all the way to my feet and ankles, it’s the worst. The only thing that helps me is a pillow between my legs and feet so they don’t touch, not sure how it helps but it gives temporary relief!

Answer

I had this before i was pregnant, but now i am pregnant it is so bad i want to chop my legs off most nights 😂

Answer

I have been an insomniac since I was born so as an adult I’ve taken ambien, Tylenol pm, unisom, lots of different sleep meds, especially since I gain tolerance and have to switch it up. Since getting pregnant all I’ve been able to take is unisom/Tylenol PM, unfortunately these increase the restless leg syndrome. Things I’ve found helpful. Take the unisom and go for a walk with your SO until you get so tired you’ll conk out the second you lay down. 400mg of magnesium before bed (this was suggested by my OB). Not getting in bed until you’re ready to sleep. Warm bath with epsom salt. Hopefully this helps.

Answer

I’ve been taking a small dose of melatonin (3mg) for the last 2 weeks to help me get through it and go to sleep. Tried heating pads first and they just were not doing the trick.

Answer

The only thing that helps me is one of those icy hot roll on things. It takes away the restless legs and keeps me from feeling so hot at night. My midwife said it’s ok as long as it’s not near my belly.   The magnesium and potassium stopped working for me.
