Brief Answer:
Simple precautions told
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX I understand the phase she is going through.
It is a tough time for her and these are common complaints at this time as there is fluid retention in body and pressure on veins which supply blood to lower limbs due to pregnant uterus.
Ask her to take light meals with minimal water before going to bed and take a thick pillow while going to sleep.
Also it will be best in case you ask some lady to massage her palms and soles and back of legs and arms with a light moisturizer or a light oil.
These simple measures will help her lots.
But in case not relieved then she can take tablet paracetamol.
And some light sedative can also be given after discussion with your gynecologist in case she still stays sleepless after all these.
In case you have any questions about it, please feel free to ask.
