Restless Legs

The restless legs are back with a mean vengeance. Not that they ever left. But - they have gotten worse over the past few weeks. It has gotten to the point that I am dreading going to sleep at night. As soon as I turn off the lights, the twitching begins.

I did some research last night and it turns out that Restless Legs (RLS) are a common symptom in pregnancy. I did not know that. And it also turns out that if you had RLS before pregnancy - than most likely it will be worse during pregnancy. So - this means that I have 20 more weeks of non-stop twitching while trying to sleep?

And it also turns out that RLS can extend to your arms. Which - before I even read that little fact, I noticed in the past few days that my arms were twitching. They weren't twitching a lot. But - enough to make me notice.

Anyway - I know that some women have heartburn or morning sickness or other terrible pregnancy symptoms. I have nothing else. Just RLS. So - I guess that is my pregnancy symptom. Grin and bear it.
