True story

[Cameronb]

I had a epidural when I was having my 1st child and still had the horrible RLS feelings in my legs.. I had to physically pick my legs up and move them manually in the middle of labor,!!And don't get me started on how brutal RLS is during pregnancy.. 😕

I can believe it! How horrendous for you.

Just goes to show doesn't it that absolutely nothing works for RLS, even being paralyzed from the waist down. 😭

So did I! This was with my second child though. I was getting it really bad in the labour room and the midwives kept saying ‘calm down!’ They just didn’t understand at all. It was 25 years ago. In the end the baby was in distress and I was begging for them to give me full anaesthetic which eventually they did. It was a nightmare 🙁 xx

I know, if being in labor isn't traumatic and horrible enough! Did you also have it super charged during pregnancy too?I remember walking around the house, waddling like a tank and bawling my eyes out in the middle of the night crying to my mum on the phone 😕😭

oh yes! Trying to hold down a full time job, with a 2 year old as well and zero sleep! I really don’t know how I did it! I used to get to work in a zombie state and I used to think ‘I don’t care what I look like, they’re lucky I’m here at all!’ Good job I was in my 20’s at the time!
