restless legs
by kaylahdee, Dec 16, 2007 09:40PM
i am 35 weeks pregnant and i have had restless leg syndrome for about 2 months now. it is getting worse and worse by the day. i cant sit or lay still, or sleep. the only thing that kind of helps is a warm/hot bath. but that only lasts till the water runs cold. i also itch a lot at night. like sudden, sharp stings/bites that itch every few seconds on a different area of my body which drives me nuts and makes teh restless legs worse. what can i do??? is it true magnesium may help and if so is that safe for the baby?

You have to ask your doctor. I'd say you're just having a nerve problem. talk it over with your ob/gyn what might be safe to make you more comfortable.

I get RLS really bad when pregnant....and it does get worse towards the end. I don't know you have a pregnancy pillow....for me it always helped to either have a pillowe between my legs when laying on my side or under my knees when on my back...I've never heard of the magnesium thing.
