My eye is twitching all the time, could it be related to PG?

For the last 4-5 days, my right eye suddenly starts twitching several times a day. It's getting to be pretty annoying, especially when I'm driving.

I searched for threads about this, and apparently it can be stressed related, lack of sleep, too much caffeine, or low magnesium. I also read one post that mentioned hormonal imbalance.

Well, I don't feel stressed, I cut out coffee completely over a week ago, and I've actually been sleeping more than usual (PG makes me sleeeeeepyyyyy). I don't know about Magnesium, I'm seeing my Dr. on Friday and I'll ask him then if I can take a supplement.

So does anyone know if this is common during PG (I'm 5 weeks) and what I can do about it? It's driving me nuts.

Magnesium is a great supplement to take while pg. I drink the liquid type when I get too many bh and take it and calcium on top of my prenatal.
Try some banannas for potasium too.

I get that sometimes when I'm not pregnant. It always seems to last a few days. I have noticed it a couple times during this pregnancy as well. I can't pinpoint what triggers it either, but it is annoying as all get out!

I also get it when not pregnant. I think I posted about it once & eventually linked it to stress that I wasn't even aware of. I haven't heard that it's related to coffee, but if you cut out caffeine a week ago, could it be a withdrawal symptom?
