I have occasionally experienced this (creepie crawlies, irritability, "jumpy legs") with my 18 month old since getting pregnant again (unintentional but not unwelcome) and have found that it was associated with the first trimester and with times of stress and increased frustration for me. It has since gone away but I suspect that it was hormonal and wonder whether in its extreme form it might be a manifestation of Post-partum depression. Perhaps a trial of Zoloft would be an allopathic approach?
