What helped your RLS?! 😫😫😫

Question

Currently 28 + 1 & I CANNOT deal with the RLS at bedtime. Like all other pregnancy discomforts that attack at night, I’m trying so hard to find out how to ease my restless legs at night. I’m tired of kicking, twitching, moving, & scaring myself outta my sleep as I begin to doze off. What worked for you mommas?! HELP ME PLEASE 😭😭

Answer

I have had horrible RLS during pregnancy. I took a risk and bought a cream I saw an ad for and it works amazing and really fast. It’s been my only relief, it’s called 8 Sheep Organics Sleepy body lotion and I use it on my calves and feet every night! Kind of pricey but it’s lasted me 6 months so far for $26. Pregnancy safe ingredients too!

Answer

Omg thanks all of you for giving me your advice! I’ll check out your suggestions and start trying them out and see what works! 💗💗 I appreciate you all giving me your time! I hope you all get the RLS answers you need as well! 😂

Anyone with rls worse in one leg/ankle? Or have had Charlie horse calf spasms in the middle of the night?? I had one at 4am last night that I thought would kill me. So painful! 31 weeks and baby is Breech so idk if that is contributing 😭 I’m so done being pregnant!

Answer

So this is sort of weird, but my son’s weighted blanket (5lbs) ended up on my legs last night.. it was AWESOME. the most comfortable my legs have been in weeks! I’m going to try using it again tonight if he’ll share 😅

Answer

Have your doc check your iron levels if it’s really bothering you. Low iron especially in women can trigger RLS

Answer

Tell me about it all the bad attacks at night lol I've had RLS since finding out I was pregnant so I know how you feel only thing that works for me is bananas, and stretching through out the day and before bed .

Answer

The only thing that helps mine is having a fan going on my legs. I even get restless arms some nights. So weird.

Answer

Look up Natural Calm on amazon. It’s magnesium. It definitely helps with my RLS but I did notice I got used to it after a while and needed to increase the dose. Instead,  I just pop half a unisom now to be able to go to sleep.
