Ive just bought an infrared heated massager on Groupon for £14.99, so far it's helping. Ive posted on here a week ago because I was having the same problem and its been driving me crazy.

The midwife recommended tonic water too.

And see if you can get your iron levels checked as low iron can be a cause of restless legs too xx

@dobbysmum thank you , Il try the tonic water i just bought a load of food with magnesium in aswell , it’s sooo annoying keeping me awake 🙄 I might look into the massager , had my iron done a few weeks ago and was normal. Oh the fun sides of pregnancy ! X

Do a lot of exercise. I found lots of walking helped keep them still at night and it disappeared immediately post partum 😃

Iron tablets have helped me, it was driving me crazy! Still restless at first but it doesn’t wake me in night now
