sore hips at night anyone?

dangerkitty102

I am now sleeping with 4 pillows to get comfortable, and sleeping on my side, but I keep waking up in the middle of the night with a sore hip - the one I am laying on. I'll have to roll over to the other side to go back to sleep, and then that hip gets sore, wakes me up, and the process continues.

Anyone else? And have you found a way to sleep that fixes it?

I've found that sleeping with a pillow the long way between my legs (crotch to below knee) helps.  I still flip from one side to another but the hip pain isn't as bad.

You have a pillow between your knees, right?

I don't have a resolution for you but I am in the same boat with you.  It seems like I spend more time flipping over than I do actually sleeping and then my hips are sore for a while after I get out of bed too.

ETA: I sleep with a body pillow and two other pillows, always with something between my knees and it hasn't seemed to help much at all.

ohh my gosh...I could have written this post today....last night I slept HORRIBLE and I tried the pillows, etc...and my hips are just SO sore...and just like you said...the one I am laying on...so I will be interested to see what others say

last night I did try to lay on my back, but prompt slightly to the side with a pillow....does that make sense? like somewhere between back and side...and that was ok for a while...but mostly my night consisted of me constantly changing positiions.......ooohhh and getting up to pee

Exactly this.

Glad I'm not the only one!

I've done the pillow between my knees some nights, but didn't last night. I'll try that again tonight and hopefully it will help!

DH's snoring isn't helping either. I wear earplugs at night in order to sleep through it and I don't know what we're going to do when baby comes and I actually need to hear the baby cry. Ugh.

The Snoogle is where it's at!  I am sleeping with one this pregnancy and have had no soreness issues.  I'm only 19 weeks but so far so good.

This is me exactly!!  I sleep on a body pillow and I have a pillow long ways between my knees but I still flip from side to side all night because of hip pain.

Yup, I'm with ya! I've bought the body pillow and another king size pillow. Neither really were working for me. Last night I actually slept the entire night through. I started out by sleeping upright with pillows behind me. Now it did take me a lot longer to fall asleep, but when I woke up this morning I hadn't woken up at all the entire night through. I woke up on my side though lol, but had no pain for the first time in two weeks!

both hips are constantly sore!  i'm assuming its from sleeping on my sides every night in addition to hips spreading and getting ready for childbirth!

I've been sleeping with a snoogle, but for the last week or so, my hips have been sore in the same way you described. I'm constantly tossing and turning, and honestly, nothing seems to help.

I've tried what PP said about sleeping half on side half on back...I kind of prop myself up on DH (he just loves being pushed out of bed lol). It makes my hips feel better for a little while but then my lower back like around my tailbone starts to hurt.

This is happening to me too.  I haven't slept well all week. I've been using a body pillow (not a pregnancy-specific one) and it's really just more of a hindrance.

The pillow is like 4' long and just gets in the way- I try to keep it between my knees and underneath my bump, but every time I move I have to move the pillow too. Ugh. 

I'm still trying to figure out how to get comfortable- otherwise, I'm in for 5 months of no sleep.

I too am sleeping with 4 pillows.  I did purchase a memory foam matteras topper and haven't had the tingling hips since.  Not a cheap fix but it seems to help DH back and shoulder issue's also.

Mine have been doing this too, but I've had arthritis in my hips since I was about 16 and had a bad car wreck, so I figured it was just the normal hip pain. But the stretching and all is probably not helping.
