Restless legs?

[Dena]

Ever since the second trimester hit, I seem to have restless leg syndrome on and off. I thought it was a low level anxiety attack, actually, until I saw an RLS commerical on TV. I figure it must be pg related, as I have never had anything like this happen before, but it is still driving me nuts.

Anyone else dealing with this? Anything effective I can do? TIA!

I did last time. It sucked!! I took a potassium supplement and it went away. Don't know if it was actually the potassium or placebo effect, but I didn't care.

Getting my dh to rub my calves is the only thing that has helped mine. And he works an odd schedule, so that is a rarity.

Good luck

calc. phos. right before bed helped. as did eating some bananas for potassium. i realize this is an old thread but i was going nuts with this and didn't know anything could help so it may help someone who happens to see it.

I had restless legs in my last pregnancy as well.

I didn't this time.

don't know what I did differently that worked though this time I am taking calcium/magnesium supplements.
