FTM and hip pain

HeartsOnABandHeartsOnABand
in 3rd Trimester

I am a FTM and I have a dr appointment on Tuesday but I lurk and sometimes post on the bump so I figured I would ask and see if anyone had similar symptoms. I've been having hip pain when I lay on my sides and I find myself on my back a lot. I was curious if anyone knows what's causing the hips pains? Or if anyone has been experiencing this?

Thank you!

    Totally normal because you have an expanding uterus and hormones softening joints up. Yoga helped me tons.

    ditto on the yoga, but if you're comfortable on your back, then sleep on your back. I slept on my back with the OK of my doctor until a few weeks ago when it finally just wasn't comfortable for me anymore.  You'll get uncomfortable or notice negative effects long before it has any effect on the baby.

    Yep, totally normal. Your joints are softening and hips are expanding. I sleep with a thick pillow between my knees to help. It's annoying for the nights when I toss and turn, but it's what I've found to be most effective.

    Normal.

     I had it really bad with my first - but now that my body is all stretched out it's not as bad w/ my third.  

    Some things you can do.  Stretches, physical therapy, lay on a pillow or on a couch w/ your hip between the cushions.  Put two pillows down and lay on them w/ your hip in between.  Lay more on your butt then hip.  Put a pillow between your legs too - to keep your hips spread.  

     Good luck!

    I would say it is normal. I've been having it quite a bit too, during the night if I stay on one side for too long. I woke up yesterday morning and the pain actually took my breath away it hurt so much.

     Yep.  Your hips actually spread some during pregnancy.

    Yep, I experience the exact same thing. Sometimes having a pillow between my hips helps, and sometimes it's just remembering to straighten up my legs (they naturally want to bend when I lie on my side).
