Restless legs

Unfortunately these leg cramps are a result of the baby pushing on your pelvic nerves, especially when you lay flat, what I do is; I try to fall asleep in an armchair sitting and as soon as sleep is about to hit me I go to my bed and I instantly fall asleep and don’t have to deal with it 🙏🏾. We don’t have long left to go🙌🏾

I’ve tried that but on my settee soon as I go to bed again it starts again, I don’t even have to be laid flat either for my legs to start 🫠. Xxx

Oh no that’s serious. Try talking to your midwife maybe compression stockings would work, also have you tried pregnancy yoga stretches? Following a simply YouTube vid can help, try this one https://youtu.be/bom3jZ4SCUk?si=O0B6aKiUUU46bqHt

Compression socks, magnesium oil spray and massage on calfs before bed, calf excercises and yoga have been helping me. Defo worked wonders and worth a try! X

I've always suffered from restless legs, not just in pregnancy, husband gives me a foot massage each night before bed and that has worked a treat!

Ditto I take magnesium tablet in the morning and spray some magnesium oil on my feet and massaging the area if needed.

Oh it’s the absolute worst isn’t it! It’s enough to drive you insane! Have you tried taking magnesium tablets? That’s supposed to help, I’ve been and got magnesium oil too but just be careful because the first few times you use it, it itches like a bitch xx

Im the same, I dont think I've slept more than a few hours a night this week! Does anyone know the recommended amount of magnesium to take? X
