I'm in my second trimester and lately, I've been suffering from restless leg syndrome, especially at night. It's making it so hard to sleep! What can I do to stop or relieve restless leg syndrome during pregnancy?
Oh, this was the worst part of my pregnancy, I used to worry if it was a nerve issue! Try to elevate your legs on a pillow when sleeping. But do mention it to your doctor to make sure your iron levels are fine.
I remember tossing and turning all night because of this! My toddler keeps me busy now, but back then, gentle calf stretches before bed and a warm bath saved my sleep. Hang in there, it completely disappears after delivery.
With twins, my legs had a mind of their own at night! I made my husband do a quick massage, and I also used compression socks which helped a lot. It's practical and keeps you from kicking your partner in your sleep!
Restless leg syndrome can sometimes be due to iron or magnesium deficiency. Please check with your gynac before taking any supplements or trying therapies, as they will do a blood test to check your levels.
My mother-in-law suggested massaging my legs with warm mustard oil before sleeping, and it actually worked wonders! She also made sure I had a glass of warm milk every night. Do check with your doctor if it's too painful.
Haan, mere saath bhi aisa hota tha, sone ke time pairon me ajeeb si bechaini hoti thi. Warm water se pair dho kar sone jao, thoda comfort milega na. Apni diet me dahi aur doodh zaroor dalo.
