Pain in right hip

[pebbie1]

Hello ladies,
So at night in bed I can only sleep on my right side seen as I cannot breathe when lying on the left side. Since about a week however I keep waking up with really bad pains in my right hip. I have tried pillow between my leg, but it does not help. Anyone else had this and any ideas what to do so I can improve my sleep a little bit?
Thanks! X

i can't sleep on either side because of pains in my hips... i lie on my back with a v cushion to support it... well comfy! nd cushions underneath my hips to wedge me in place xx

 

[pebbie1]

I too don't get a full nights sleep- due to heartburn, sickness or hip pain. Pillows help a little between my knees but turning over in bed takes some doing!

same here hun! unfortunately both my hips hurt lots when I'm in bed at night, I can't really sleep on my back cause when I do I feel like I can't breath

Awww, I knew about the 10 wee's a night, but not about the hip pain. I almost limp into the bathroom as if my hip is completely out of place. Oh, one of the other joys in 3rd trimester during the night! Hahaha

The pain in your hips is most likely caused by the pregnancy hormone, relaxin. It prepares your pelvic area to give birth, if you're doing a lot of walking or exercise, it puts stress on your hip muscles and they'll start to hurt.

The pillow between my legs makes the pain worse. I assumed it was from the relaxin my body was producing. It's been happening since the beginning of third trimester.
