I dont know whats going on, but as of Friday my hips and legs and butt are KILLING me.. I haven't done anything over the top/out of the ordinary, but holy man it hurts.. Is this a) normal? b) how can i get some relief?

I don't know if it's normal but my groin has felt like I pulled it slightly.  Have you tried some Tylenol and a warm bath?  Are you sleeping with a pillow in between your legs?

I've had a ton of general achiness thsi pg.  It can be normal; Tylenol and heating pad, warm bath are about all you can do besides stretching...  Hope it's better soon!

Ah, pregnancy. Have you been sleeping on your side, by chance? I stopped being able to sleep any other way when the m/s hit and my hips have been pretty sore ever since.

Other than stretching, I haven't found much to relieve them.

Im too paranoid to take tylenol. I know I know. I didn't try a bath but I did try a heating pad and it did give some relief for a while but not long. I don't sleep with a pillow inbetween my legs, but i should start.

Yes I always sleep on my right side.!! Since Friday though i've had to sleep on my stomach and if I try to sleep on my right side it feels okay for a bit, but then that side starts to hurt.

I find I get that kind of achey-ness when I stand or walk too much, stairs are particularly bad for it.

The best way to stop it is to rest with your feet up for a while.

I've had a lot of achiness in my hips throughout this pregnancy. My OB told me it was just everything growing and stretching.

I haven't tried a heating pad, but it does seems to help if I sleep with a pillow between my legs.

Yep, at least it was for me. I had tons of hip pain, mostly at night in bed, around that point. I don't notice it as much anymore. I think it's mostly just that round ligament pain and/or your hips spreading to accommodate everything.

Putting a pillow between my legs helped at night. Usually they say you can take tylenol, so that might provide some relief if you're experiencing yours more during the day. Hopefully you will "grow" out of it.
