Third trimester and lately my legs feel so weird at night, like i just cant keep them still and it ruins my sleep. Someone told me its restless leg syndrome. Is this a real pregnancy thing? Anyone else dealing with it?
Beta, that crawly leg feeling at night is common in pregnancy, dont panic. A warm soak and gentle stretching before bed eased mine. But do mention it to your doctor so they can check your iron.
Oh I have this right now and it drives me crazy at night, my legs just want to dance while I want to sleep. Stretching a bit before bed helps me a little. Pregnancy keeps finding new ways to surprise us, lol.
I had it in my second pregnancy, that restless tingly feeling in the legs. Light stretching and staying hydrated helped me a bit. But do tell your doctor, mine checked my iron because of it.
Its that crawly, cant-keep-your-legs-still feeling, mostly at night, and its quite common in pregnancy. My doctor said it can be linked to low iron sometimes, so she checked my levels. Worth mentioning to your gynac so they can see the cause.
