Hip pain.. any suggestions?

My hips hurt!  They have been hurting on and off for about a month now.  Lately it has gotten a bit worse though, just a constant dull pain like they need to crack or something but wont.  I assume this is just from the pressure on them or him hips widening or something.

I do stretches, leg lifts and such to try and help it  but its not doing much.

Anyone have any suggestions with hip pain associated with pregnancy? Anyone else experiencing this?

    I have hip pain from time to time - but I have also had surgery on my right hip, so things are a little crazy with that side and all the stretching.  What about soaking in a warm tub of water with Epsom Salts?  My OB said that Epsom salts are fine as long as you aren't drinking them, and I use one of those thermometer duckies to make sure the water does not get too hot...  It seems to help with my hip (and also my lower back!)

    Can't stress enough the pillow between your knees at night. That has saved me from horrible hip pain!!

    Yea the few times I have remembered to put a pillow between my legs it has helped.  I should make that a nightly thing... hm...

    Yeah, I've had some serious hip pain. I fell in the store about two months back and I'm not sure I've ever fully recovered... added with the extra baby weight and it's painful :( Nevertheless, as another poster said, a pillow works wonders. My doctor also said a hot compress is safe.

    I go to a chiropractor who specializes in prenatal adjustments.  I have hip pain and this has helped to relieve it greatly!

    A prenatal massage would help greatly with this. Also, you can get a foam roller and use that on the glutes. You can get them at places like Academy, or just online on amazon. You want to sit on the glute/hip muscular area (stay away from bones) and roll until you feel a painful spot, and then stay on that spot until the pain lets up. I think they will usually have a little DVD that comes with them to show you how to use them.
