restless legs

[koltonsnewmom]

Is it normal to feel like you can't keep your legs still at 27 weeks!? I'm up walking all day at work, and when i lay down to rest i can't cause my legs always feel like they're not comfortable or I can't help but to move them.

So I thought RLS was made up... until this pregnancy!! Oh my goodness. It's usually really bad days I swim. Putting pressure on them helps or taking a Tylenol. Or I just stretch them until fall asleep ha.

Thank you! This is my first pregnancy and I didn't know what to expect. I'm on my feet from 9-10 hrs a day not as bad as you. I've asked others I know and they didn't really experience this.

I had that really bad last night.....couldn't sleep worth a darn. I am on my feet for 12-14 hours as a nurse and a lot of us wear compression stockings..... Could possibly help for you?

I've had restless legs before and during pregnancy and the only temp relief I ever got was from my husband rubbing/ massaging them.  It was usually from my knees down in the front.  Almost like my shins were always uncomfortable.

Oh my gosh it kills me. Always as I'm just about asleep and than I have the urge to move or kick my legs. Drives me nuts.
