I have always had restless legs, especially in the evenings (my Mum also had them!), but it doesn't seem to have gotten worse during pregnancy for me. Unfortunately, I have nothing useful to add! Someone once suggested panadol, and I'm thinking maybe antacid tablets might help too (seeing as they have calcium in them)? I'm taking iron pills as well as elevit, but neither seems to have made a difference...

(I call it jumpy legs, as they just feel like you have to continuously move/jiggle them around.)

At least you don't have long to go Sheena! ]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:53:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17843&PID=404678&title=restless-legs#404678 <![CDATA[Restless Legs : Like....when your legs ache like...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17843&PID=402940&title=restless-legs#402940 Author: Shezamumof3

I was reading about it in a pregnancy magazine in the boom shop yesterday.

My mum said she had "Silly Legs" when she was pregnant, she would be walking through the supermarket and her legs would just ive way on her

My mum recommended magnesium tablets and once I started taking elevit tabs daily, they stopped. I have too heard that eating a banana will help. ]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:16:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17843&PID=401981&title=restless-legs#401981 <![CDATA[Restless Legs : My least fave thing about late...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17843&PID=401782&title=restless-legs#401782 Author: nikkitheknitter

Ugh! This drove me nuts with both pregnancies.
