Restless legs :-(
Hey all, I’m 27 weeks pregnant with my second baby, I’ve suffered with restless legs since being a teenager. Just used to get it now and then.
I am suffering soooo bad again with it, every night as soon as I’m in bed my legs start playing up, I’m lying awake for hours and hours not knowing what to do with my legs!
Midwife suggested magnesium spray, which I’ve tried but it made it 10 times worse!! :-(
Please anyone who has faced the same struggle or has any advice, I’m all ears!! 🥹🥹 I’m really struggling with it…

I had this soo bad with both my pregnancies. I think mine was due to low iron levels so maybe get that checked out? Cos after I started taking iron tablets it significantly reduced the restless legs.
Such a horrible symptom. Worst pregnancy symptom in my opinion.
I also tried a weighted blanket. That sometimes works for me. And a bath before bed (but not always)
I’ve always suffered but this is so bad and literally every night!
I agree, one of the worst symptoms so far for me!!!
Thanks for the advice- I am having some bloods taken to check iron levels so that may flag up something!
Thanks again 💕
