Restless legs & uncomfortable sleep 13 weeks

Hi everyone! just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Am currently 13+3 weeks and for the last 2 weeks or so I've struggled to get a good nights sleep, when I lie on my side for more than 10 mins my leg and hips go numb and I have this urge to stretch or move my legs, I have to keep getting up to walk around then lie down again, does anyone have any tips? I didn't think this would happen so early on BlushThanks xx

This has been killing me throughout pregnancy! Sadlyfor me it only got worse as time has gone on

However! I’ve found that getting a rigorous (although not painful) ankle/leg rub before bed helps :)

Bananas! I believe the potassium in them helps with the restless legs. I feel your pain, I suffer so bad with this all through my pregnancies. I sit on the sofa and just have to keep stretching or moving my legs because they just feel like they are twitching or I can't describe it. X
