Pain In side of left leg

So I’ve always gotten restless leg way before I was pregnant and still get it now then sometimes in the night I get a pain from my left hip all the way down to my ankle and only in the side of my leg but lately I get pain in just the side of my left leg/ calf! I’m also pretty certain I use to get this pain on/off before I was pregnant too! Not sure if it’s sciatica when it’s not really my back or thigh! Just wondered if anyone else experiences this

I have this too! It has affected me my whole pregnancy from about 10weeks. Iv lost so much sleep because of it. Unfortunately the medication for RLS is too dangerous to take during pregnancy so it’s something we have to grin and bare sadly. You can have physio although you can find some really good videos online. Once baby is here the pain usually just goes away xx

I didn’t even realise there was medication for RLS, I’ve always suffered before I was pregnant but 9/10 as soon as I get into bed it’s not too bad I can deal with it!! Do you just get in one side of one of your legs sometimes too then ? It’s like the outside of the calf

C Section Date

I’m 37 weeks and I’m due on 6th April. I’m having an elective c section and haven’t been given my date yet, is anyone else in this situation? X

How many of you had your c sections rescheduled?

So I'm choosing to have a c section this time around because I had an emergency c section after being induced last time. That was less than 2 years ago so I don't think it's a good idea to try again. I'm really nervous it's gonna be rescheduled bcs I have my sister taking time off work to help me out with the baby in the hospital since my husband will have to go home to be with our toddler at night. Also my husband starts his leave on that day so I don't want him to lose any more days. So I'm just wondering how common this is. I'm in the US in NJ

Unwell after sweep

I’ve had a sweep earlier today, lost the mucus plug about a couple hours later. Got period type cramping immediately, I hadn’t even left the midwife appointment yet. I have contractions and permanent back cramping, alongside waves of nausea - which is a combination I’m struggling with as I feel quite unwell. Nowhere near labour, as I’ve had 6 contractions in the span of 3 hours or so. A midwife told me sweeps cause really bad cramping, so I assumed it was normal. But just want to check if there’s anybody out there in a similar boat? Should I be calling the hospital to check if it’s all normal?
