Why are my legs restless during pregnancy?

Many pregnant women suffer from leg cramps and restless leg syndrome, which occurs when your leg reflexively spasms into a kicking motion, and that the motion can wake you out of a good sleep. The syndrome is also associated with that creepy-crawly feeling (your leg feels as if it's being pinched). It seems to be caused by irregular levels of the chemical dopamine.

Some treatments include making sure you get enough folate (800 micrograms a day during pregnancy - 400 mcg in prenatal pill and 400 mcg in supplements) and iron (30 mg); applying a heating pad to the area also seems to quiet the disturbances. Also, try magnesium (400 mg) and calcium (1,200 mg) for leg cramps, as these minerals are naturally used by muscles to contract normally.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
