[carpediemgirl077]

I'm 31 weeks along -  woke up last night because I had a few braxton hicks...   I've had several nights of restless legs -  I HAVE to move them -  get up, walk around, flex my toes.... etc etc etc....     and the tops of my feet ITCH LIKE MAD sometimes too now!     I'm starting to go crazy due to lack of sleep mostly I'm sure...  and don't know what to do!   I have a Dr. Appt on Thursday morning, and will try to find out whats going on then...    Anyone else?????

I m 35 weeks and Ive been getting what they call restless leg sindrom since about 20 weeks, Its accually a medical term...lol.  Something common in pregnancy I guess.

I've had a few nights of RLS too--it's no fun when all you want to do is sleep!  Try going on a leisurely walk in the evening, avoid caffeine at night, and eat a snack with some protein before bed (PB sandwich?).  Also, avoid laying around in the evening--save it for bedtime.

Braxton Hicks--they say they're not painful, but I've had a few doozeys!
