Restless Leg Syndrome
I seem to have developed pregnancy induced restless leg syndrome! It is ridiculously annoying! Just when I think I can relax, my legs tell me they want to go dancing. Anyone else experience this? Anything you found that helped?

Restless Leg Syndrome
Ugh - I had that with both of my pregnancies. It was worst in the evening - The only thing that helped was lying in bed. Sitting, even with my feet up, made it worse.
I know it sucks - but you just have to ride it out. Good luck!

Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
I haven't experienced this myself but my best friend had it when she was pregnant and I'm sorry to say but she still has it 3 yrs later. You should speak to a doctor now and see if there is anything you can do. Hope it goes away soon!!

Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
I suffer from RLS even when I'm not pregnant but it's worse when I am. One thing that has been helping me is having DH rub right at the base of my spine... almost my tailbone area. I usually sit on the couch or lie down on my side and he rubs in a circular motion with a fair amount of pressure. I feel your pain though!

Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
This was the worst part of my pregnancy. I do not have any advice, but it did go away after I had DD.
Good luck!

Stretch stretch stretch.
I too have RSL unrelated to being pregnant.

Restless Leg Syndrome
Benadryl helped me on the nights that it was bad. Try and read before bed, anything to get ur mind off if it.

I have it too during pregnancy and agree that it is a NIGHTMARE!! Thank you girls for your tips on what to do. I usually just take a Benadryl before bed on nights that it is really bad.
