Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm guessing you are pregnant... how far along? At 12 weeks, I was told that my ligaments were stretching, cause the discomfort that you've described. Then at 30 weeks, I was advised that I have a separated pelvis. Caused by RElaxin, a hormone necessary to allow for v____al delivery, by previous hip/pelvic trauma or abdominal surgery. It is horribly uncomfortable, and since its cartilege and ligaments, no treatment really available. Paracetamol (muscle relaxant) is allowed, but I don't use it so I can't advise on it. You can wear a special brace, which I do, which I also don't find overly helpful. Tylenol is allowed, and does help relieve some of the a__sociated back ache. I find sleeping with a pillow between my knees helps, or sleeping on my back, semi upright also helps. Good luck.

I'm now 37 weeks pregnant and also have hip pain, especially when I'm sleeping. I occasionally had this sort of hip pain even when I wasn't pregnant. I think it has to do with pressure being put on your hips when you sleep a certain way. Now it's even worse, but I find I can prevent it if I sleep with a pillow between my legs. Sometimes even a pillow under your waist (sleeping on your side) can help. Try pillows in all different directions!

I have this too, and am barely getting any sleep (28 weeks). Someone suggested putting a piece of lightweight foam between the bottom sheet and the mattress at the hip level, but I haven't tried it yet.

I am 31 weeks pregnant and feel like my hips are cutting into the matteress when I sleep. I sleep with a pillow b/t my knees which helps my lower back, but my hips are miserable. Does anyone have any suggestions?
