Restless leg syndrome?! My skin is crawling

CeliaAgnes

So I never fully understood rls, even in studying medicine but im almost 100% I'm experiencing it right now and my skin is crawling! This is without a doubt the absolute most irritating sensation I've ever felt. I literally cannot sleep because laying still is unbearable, I'm walking around typing this while baby kicks. Maybe he's got it too
Really tho, anyone else experience this? Tips for relief?!

I have it too. I believe its from the increase in blood flow.

My legs twitch a lot while I try to sleep. To the point that I wake up to my feet 6 inches above the bed. I don't notice as many day time symptoms, but I do get the irritated, want to walk feeling sometimes. Mostly I get the symptoms as I try to sleep. Making me crazy.

RLS can be a symptom of low iron. Maybe try to take a little more iron with your prenatal?

Try stretching then warm soak then cold shower.
