My RLS started during pregnancy too - 20 years ago. I have studied everything I could get my hands on re/ this condition, and in women it is common that it manifests itself for the first time in many women during pregnancy. After childbirth, some women no longer suffer from the condition, and others (like me) have it from that point forward, and it worsens as you grow older. I don't know anything about medication during pregnancy, I just wanted to tell you lots of women have reported RLS began during pregnancy, and it is a common occurence, and you might be cured after childbirth. I just took lots of little catnaps, when you are pregnant, people are more tolerant and cut you some slack. So maybe you could just grab 10 minutes 4 or 5 times a day, and just don't worry that you aren't sleeping at night. I began roaming the house at all hours when I was expecting, but the good thing is, the baby never kept me up, I was up anyway!
