Hi.
I am 20 wks and for a few weeks I have been getting the most annoying and uncomfortable dead and achey legs all through the night....I know this is totally normal but I wondered if anyone has any cures or any way of making themselves feel more comfortable in the 'leg' department?

Oh my. I've had this and it can be really frustrating. What helped me was applying a mild heating balm like tiger balm on axe oil on my legs and wrapping them up to keep nice and warm. Also a hot water bottle as it will help with the numb feeling. Hope this helps you . I will try this next! I also need to get some more sensible shoes for work. My flats and sandals are not cushioned enough. When I wore my M&S footglove pumps the other day I slept so much better that night. So the next job is to find some decent looking sandals and shoes that are actually cushioned and supportive!!! I wore leather ballet pumps to work yesterday and last night I was in agony :( I did hear from a friend about Magnesium so I will try that too. Thanks ladies xxx

I have read that magnesium supplements can help.
