pregabalin

Has anyone been prescribed pregabalin for Restless Leg Syndrome? I’m 24 & suffer with it horribly. I’ve been prescribed iron again to try help, for persistent low ferritin levels, but just been prescribed pregabalin as I just can’t cope & nothing’s helping.

What sort of side effects have you had if you’ve been on it & did it actually help at all? Dr advised one 75mg tablet at nighttime

Thanks 🙂 x

Ive been prescribed pregabalin but not just for RLS. I do have it but found it didnt help it at all plus it made me gain so much weight.
However I do use a magnesium cream and cover my legs with it and it helps soooo much x

I was on pregabalin for a while for chronic pain, I dont know if it'll help with your RLS but side effects wise, I eventually had hand tremors and my hair started falling out. I had to come off it in the end as the benefits were minimal compared to the side effects. But I know others that have used it and got on fine with it

Coil

I have been given a date for my c section when I was in my last appointment they offered to put a coil in while iam in surgery for my section as a form of contraception. Iam not too sure if I should do this incase it gives me bad side effects or messes with my hormones has anyone had this before and what was your experience like?

Bigger baby experiences?

Today is my Estimated due date, had a scan yesterday and baby is estimated at 9lbs 11oz - worth noting they couldnt get a head measurement as baby is too low down in my pelvis.

No signs of labour as of yet, which is fine. Before I found out baby was on the bigger size (95.7 centile) I was wanting to wait for him to come naturally. Now I’m considering a sweep as my first option to give my body gentle encouragement into labour.

The hospital have been extremely pushy since 37 weeks with wanting me to be induced which I would like to avoid if possible and posing no risk to baby & I without it.

Can anyone share their experiences with birthing a baby on the larger centile?
