Hi, this is a very big problem for pregnant women. For estimation of PLM a sleep monitoring is required. The quantification of repetitive stereotypic leg movements during sleep monitoring is connected with daytime fatigue and sleepiness or insomnia. Dopaminergic agents or other drugs that interact with dopamine activity are used as effective treatment for most patients. These conditions are not life threatening, but present a disadvantage in everyday life, as they have profound negative impact on daytime routine, work, and social and family life. You need to consult a doctor because all medications should be avoided in pregnancy.
