Hi Guys,

There is a chance i could be pregnant. I have sore boobs, nausea and the last few days i have had restless legs. Is RL a sign of pregnancy?? I had them on both my last pregnancies but not until later on. I ahve ordered some cheapy tests online so should arrive in the next two days. x

Not sure how early it started, but in each of my three pregnancies I had (still have with my third) rl. So in my case yes, I'd say it is a pregnancy symptom. And a very annoying one, too...

Very annoying! I think i read somewhere that bananas are supposed to help..could be wrong though. Thanks for reply, dying to poas tomorrow!

I had this for a few nights over the past week. Really annoying. I woke up several times to put cold water on my feet. That helped a little. I read on another forum that it may be related to iron deficiency. I hadn't taken my multi-vitamins during the days it happened. Started my vits again and my legs have been fine.

Really irritating symptom, I am 32 weeks into my 3rd preg and have had this with all three. I did have it very intermittently at beginning this time. I have just found out I do have low iron levels at mo so hope that is a cause as taking spatone now. Also will try bananas :)
Sending good vibes for test tomorrow!

I've had restless legs in this pregnancy (DC3), although I get them occasionally when I'm not pregnant too. It's a horrible feeling - drives me crackers and interrupts valuable sitting-on-the-sofa-doing-bugger-all time.

Thanks for the bananas tip. I'll try that.
