It was awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645577 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:01:05 +0000 Smurfette 645577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it pre pregnancy and if was worse during pregnancy. My doctor told me to take magnesium vitamins and that helped some. Working out always helped me too. Just make sure you stretch really well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645573 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:59:41 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 645573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its brutal, isn't it? I've had restless leg syndrome for a few years, but since getting pregnant, it has been much worse. I find that a bath helps, or standing up (not nice when you just want to sleep!). No solutions for you - I'm still in 2nd tri myself. But maybe, like the other ladies said, it'll be on its way out soon. Best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645563 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:53:56 +0000 MrsHotDog 645563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain! I am almost 35 weeks and I have had it since the second trimester. The only way I can find relief is by taking a warm bath before bed but it works every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645558 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:50:17 +0000 Cherrybee 645558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, I know this one all too well! I actually got it very occasionally prior to pregnancy, too. I tend to get it in the evenings when I'm really over tired - or particularly bored - and, for me, relief only comes from getting up and doing something different. Earlier this evening I got it and I had a nice warm bath, that made it go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645552 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:47:39 +0000 Charm54 645552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh good!! That makes me feel better. Everything I read from Dr. Google told me that it's mostly common in late third trimester....so I was panicking that I was going to be dealing with this for the next 27 weeks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645551 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:45:32 +0000 gracecat 645551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup it went away in the the middle of the second trimester thankfully. There wasnt much i could do about it unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645545 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:43:21 +0000 ladyfingers 645545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg yes! It calmed down significantly by the 3rd trimester. I tried to keep it elevated and apply hear but nothing really worked :( sorry! I just tried to spend as little time lying down before bed as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restless-leg-syndrome-in-second-trimester#post-645539 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:40:01 +0000 Charm54 645539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've just entered the 2nd trimester, and while I'm glad that the nausea and fatigue is mainly gone, my legs have been killing me every evening. I have an uncontrollable urge to move them and can't sit still for any period of time. I broke my toe a few weeks ago so haven't been exercising as much as usual, I wonder if that plays a role?</p> <p>Did anyone else experience this? Did you do anything to relieve the annoyance? Did it go away on its own? </p>
