Pregnancy Induced Restless Leg Syndrome

Anyone else struggling with pregnancy induced restless leg syndrome (rls)? I have never experienced this outside of pregnancy, but now on pregnancy 2 I've had it with both. The only good remedies I've come up with are slathering my legs down with a heavy cream right before I go to sleep, which seems to help with the jumpy legs. Also, strangely I've discovered that if I keep my legs shaved, they don't get that prickly, creepy,crawly feeling from stubble rubbing against the sheets. Anyone else having this and have a good non-medicinal remedy?

I hate it too. It keeps me awake some nights for a good hour and then it can wake me up. I have found that a cold water bottle can help if i put it between my knees.
