My hips feel like they are ripping apart

I can hardly stand straight today.  It's amazing how carrying a little melon-sized uterus can throw off your entire posture and kill your back.  I worked a 15 hour nursing shift yesterday, so that probably didn't help.  Sitting with a heating pad on my butt cheeks.  Heading to the chiropractor soon.  :P

    Mine hurt too...especially at night.  I need to start sleeping with a body pillow.  I walked yesterday and today and I've noticed it helped some.

    Yeah I have to move around a lot during the day. Sitting hurts, standing hurts, lying down hurts, so I try and mix it up and it seems to hurt a little less!

    I feel your pain too!  I wake up with agonizing hip pain.  I can feel it before I even get out of bed.  It usually goes away within the hour.  I didn't wake with it this morning, I'm thinking its because I had my husband do jostling on my hips with his fists before bed.  If you get a chance, ask your massage therapist or chiropractor to show you how to jostle, so you can show your DH.  I also started prenatal yoga at home which I believe is helping a bit.  Hope this helps!  It's been my biggest complaint of the 2nd tri.

    PAIN! PAIN! PAIN!  It feels like my hips are separating from my body.  I'm in pain in morning, noon and night.  This part of the pregnancy I can do without.  I just can't wait until my lil man gets here.
