Hip pains while sleeping?

Kd4

This morning and the night before I've had this ache in my hips when I try and sleep. The pain feels like I walked ten miles and they're sort of restless if that makes sense. I tried putting a pillow between my legs and when that didn't work I tried laying on a pillow so maybe the softness would be easier on my hips but that didn't work either. The only way they stop hurting is if I lay on my back and I know its not recommended to do that for a long time either. Have any of you ladies had this problem and if so have you found anything that relieves the pain or at least eases it (that doesn't include taking something)?

I have the same issue where I wake up in the middle of the night with hip pain. The only thing that helps is laying on my back for a bit and then laying back on my side or I get up and walk it out for a couple of minutes that then try to go back to sleep. I tried doing some research on this but it seems there isn't much you can do..just perks of being pregnant!

Yup, I've got it too. Mine is a sharper type pain though. Oh, the joys of being preggo!

I have the same issue. The only thing that works for a short while is putting a pillow between my legs. But I haven't found anything else that helps yet.

I read in one of my bump or babycenter emails today that if you wake up with pain and can't just switch sides to get comfortable, you should talk a short walk because it lubricates your joints. Hope you get some relief!

Thanks I'll have to try that! I hope it works

I have had this pain for weeks now. I have to flip sides frequently during the night. I also sleep with a pregnancy pillow and lots of other pillows. Nothing works very well.

The last week or so it has been so bad that I have taken to sleeping sitting up in bed. I stack my pregnancy pillow and about 4 other pillows up behind me and sleep sitting up. Normally this would be horribly uncomfortable, but it provides some much needed pressure relief for my hips. An hour or two sitting up and I can go back to one side or the other for another hour or two.

I have this. I still have the pain. It helps sometimes but it just isn't enough anymore.

My snuggle helps with the hip pain a bit but I still have to change sides at least 3 times a night due to hip pain.  Im gonna try the getting up and walking thing. Thanks!
