Restless legs

Hello

Does anyone have any tips to relieve restless legs, particularly at night? It’s driving me crazy! I’m
27 weeks with DC2 and I don’t remember this from my first pregnancy! Thanks!

Epsom salt baths really help me with thus.

I had this in my last pregnancy around the same time. It kept me up at night and drove me crazy! Turns out I was anaemic and needed iron tablets. A few days after I started taking them it went! Ask for a blood test for iron levels ☺️

Seconding iron tablets. You need slightly higher ferritin levels (about 50) for restless legs, the NHS says you’re ok down to 11. Usually mine start resolving within a week of iron supplementation (the 200mg ferrous sulphate tablets).
