Restless legs in the middle of the night

Hi Ladies,

I am 24 weeks pregnant and I wake up at night with pain in my legs. Not cramps but this feeling of heavyness and tiredness in my legs. It keeps me up quite a bit cuz I can't get comfortable.

Was wondering if any of you may have had something simillar?

thanks!

Yes!  I do not feel pains, but it seems like my legs feel tired but yet restless and constantly needing to be stretched out at night.  The best way I can describe the feeling is like that of when your stomach drops but it is in my legs.

It probably started about 20ish weeks.  I am now 37 weeks and have it from time to time, but don't notice it as much.  

I never had anything like this with my first and don't know if it is pregnancy related or not, but it is weird!

Yes I have this.  It's not really painful so much as just a need to move them.  I have to kick them around for a bit before I can go back to bed. Sometimes I just take the opportunity to get up and go pee.

Yes...I get this too. I get cramps in my calves if I stretch them out. And I get a restless feeling in my knees like I have built up energy and need to kick out the tention. Guess it's just all part of this pregnancy thing!
