Hey ladies!

I have been having a terrible time recently with feeling like I just HAVE to move - especially in the evening, when I am trying to put up my swollen achy feet! I get this kind of surge through me and I have to get up and move around. It's been getting pretty bad. I've done some research and see that some women get it during pregnancy and then it goes away. Some research says it's a result of low Iron, but I just had labs done and my iron level is fine... anyone else dealing with this? Misery loves company! Ugh!

ARGH!!!! THIS IS WHAT IS RUINING MY SLEEP AT NIGHT!!

It is TERRIBLE. The other night I woke up to pee at 3 am and then couldn't get back to sleep until 430 am because my legs just felt weird. I couldn't get comfy for the life of me and every time I would get comfy, my husband would shift and then push my legs out of the way ARGH (it took everything in me not to kick his a$$ to the guestroom!)

My cousin also had this during her 3rd trimester and it drove her nearly bat**** Last night I actually slept the whole night through without any problems but that is a first in about the last 3 weeks. I am hoping it has gone away but I know I can't be that lucky.

Ohhhh that is AWFUL! It doesn't wake me at night, but it makes falling asleep a nightmare... I was starting to wonder if I was insane- sometimes when I think about it too much, I start to feel it - like right now sitting at my desk. Grr... off for a quick walk.... it's so exhausting!

Mine has bencome very bothersome.  Its always when i lay down to go to sleep too :(  Even a light grazing of a blanket drives my legs insane.  After a while it settles down but during the night if hubby shifts the sheets and i wake up, its a nightmare trying to get back to sleep!  I had my labs done 2 weeks ago and my iron is fine also.  I guess its just one of those lame pregnancy things we have to deal with for now!

I had terrible RLS while pregnant!!! I couldn't take my normal meds for it either because of the class. All I found to help was sleep and activity. Good luck! I know how bad it sucks!!!
