Hip pain...

It seems like i cannot sleep on both sides , sleeping flat is out of question. if i sleep on sides my hips are hurting and they start hurting even when iam not sleeping . does any one have it? what remidies/tricks you want to share to get rid of it.

thank you

 

Sorry you are in pain. I had really bad hip pain, that is why I was induced at 36w 3d. The only thing that helped me in the end was sleeping in a recliner. By the end it was so bad I couldn't even get my legs onto the bed to lay down. I really hope noone has to have that bad of pain.

 

that is what iam afraid of. With my first i got sciatica(sp?) and now this.

 

Hi!

I've only been having hip pain now in my second trimester. For me nothing helps during the night while I'm sleeping :huh: I've tried sleeping on pillows & even bought a mattress support, no go. As your belly gets bigger & heavier so your hips will start hurting more.

What I find gives me temporary relief is having a warm bath with a few drops of arnica oil.

As for sleeping in a recliner, I'm way to tall for that....

I truly hope you find some relief.

I've got hip pain and a lot of shoulder and back pain too. I have yet to find any configuration of pillows that work. Every morning it's actually a relief to get up so I don't have to try to get comfortable any more. I am treating each day and night like a small victory. Sorry - no advice, just sympathy!!!

 

I had a lot of hip pain in my pregnancy also. What worked for me was a pillow between my legs while lying on my side. It certainly didn't take it completely away, but it did make it more dull. HTH!

 

I remember feeling like that in the beginning. I was so used to sleeping on my back or stomach that my hips just were not used to the pressure of laying on them. You will be spending a lot of time on your sides over the next 6 months so your body will adjust. I just took tylenol (check with your doc.) until my body got used to it. I know it sucks!! I forgot, if you can, get a nice firm body pillow to wedge behind your back so that you can kind of lean back on it while you're on your side it will take a lot of pressure off your hips.

 

Thank you everyone.

 

I feel your pain - literally. I am getting hip pain (and shoulder pain and back pain) from sleeping on my sides as well. I get some minimal relief changing sides fairly frequently. But that doesn't always work : ( When it doesn't work, I sleep sitting up in bad - I prop a bunch of pillows up to make a giant wedge up against the headboard and lay into it. It doesn't last long, but usually long enough to give my hips some relief before I go back to sleeping on my sides.

I wish I had something better to suggest! i know what you're going thru!!!! Like a pp, I'm just taking it one day at a time!
