Every night when I go to bed I have this very strange feeling on my legs, like I needed to move them or shake them. If I had a chance to go for a long walk during the day it doesn't happen as much but on week days between working full time and caring for my 3 year old there is no time to walk or exercise. Anyone else is experiencing a similar thing?

I get this a lot, had it since about 17 and it’s no better since being pregnant, they also get achy & feel really heavy! I usually have a magnesium/Epsom salt bath once a week and it keeps it away but having to do that twice since being pregnant! If I haven’t had one tho and it starts a couple of paracetamol do tend to ease it enough for me to fall asleep x

Restless leg syndrome, it drives me NUTS 😂😤
Best solution I've found is to either sit in a shallow bath of the hottest water you can stand, or just spray legs with super hot shower, just before bed.
Then I use Mio "lucky legs cooling gel".
This buys me about 30-60 mins to fall asleep before I feel the dreaded restless legs creep up again.

I will try the bath, although time for a bath feels like a luxury at the moment 😅

Take an antihistamine and it’ll stop immediately. I’ve suffered with it for years so feel your frustration! Xx

Oh I have this everytime I am pregnant. It’s the worst feeling ever. It literally makes me want to chop my legs off.
I found higher sugary food / sugary/fizzy drinks tended to make it worse for some reason (not sure if that was just in my head, but it’s what I noticed) so I try to avoid them (especially closer to the evening)…and magnesium spray. I then do sleep meditation at night to try and quickly get to sleep before I notice the feeling :-(

I get this every night & I honestly want to saw my legs off🤣🤣😩

Get some magnesium spray ladies!! Works a treat 😀
