Restless legs & other fun stuff.....

[Charlyfrog]

Ok - so am having all those fun aches and pains, cracking grinding hips, sore 'down there' as though bubby is trying to fall out and bubby's movements feel as though they are almost right on the surface of 'down there' trying to push out - if that makes sense.

But what seems to be happening is (TMI warning) I feel as though I need to do a poo more often (but sometimes nothing comes out even though the sensation is there ) and am having major 'restless legs'......they ache or just feel uncomfy and I can't seem to get them in a relaxed posi (not helpful for a good night sleep ) ................

......Just curious if what I am experiencing is an encouraging thing being 3wks out from the edd or am I just throwing 'pie in the sky' thoughts about in the vein hope that something might happen sooner rather than later, iykwim?!?!?!

Just give it to me straight lovlies (I can take it - LOL!!) - especially Alan if you're around

hi,
Sounds close to me. I read that the urge to do #2's, is a result of bubs moving further down into your pelvis, which would explain why you have been feeling alot of movement down there and why it feels like bubs is going to pop out. Might not be long before he/she does pop out.
As for the restless legs, I'm no expert but I have heard of restless leg syndrome before. Researchers don't know what causes it, they think it might be a combination of diet, stress and other enviromental factors. An Iron deficiency may also cause it. But it could also be from tiredness.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

How exciting, sounds like your not too far of labour! As for restless legs, I get them when I'm really tired, so rest up sounds like your going to need all the energy you can get. Just think you'll have your little bundle soon I've still got weeks to go
Good luck!

OOh, I hate restless legs. I got them most of my last pregancy, and have had them from the start this time too!

I feel like I have to go to the loo constantly, but nothing seems to happen sometimes! So much downward pressure! Although apparently I'm no more engaged that last week. Also getting pains in my tailbone - you got those too Charlyfrog???

[Charlyfrog]

Oooh the tailbone!! Didn't have any issues until having DD and have had it on and off since so yep!!! Every now and then my tailbone certainly does hurt for sure Oh the joys, the joys!!!
