Hi Bec, Just reading the mail from a few days back and saw your request for info on restless legs. Interestingly it is not just for pregnant women and my husband suffers from it everynow and then. He treats it by taking silicea gel. It cost a bit but you just take a teaspoon a day. Works great for him. The tablets work too but are less effective. Hope this helps. Dierdre B.
