Hip Pain Causing Lack of Sleep

I am 16 weeks pregnant, and for the past month I've been having terrible hip pain at night. I'm already sleeping solely on my side, either side, with a body pillow and an added tempurpedic foam top our bed, but my hips begin to ache so badly each night that I wake up at least 5 to 10 times throughout the night and have to keep switching sides. My right hip hurts especially, even when I'm not sleeping on my right side. Eek! Has anyone else gone through this, and what helped? I now own a mess of pillows that aren't helping much. Can you recommend any exercises or stretches?

    Hi. You might try chiropractic care, there are some chiropractors that are trained to work with pregnant women and would be able to show you some exercises.  You can look online at www.icpa4kids.org and search for one that is Webster Technique certified.  If you would like more information feel free to e-mail me at cskutleydc@gmail.com.  I am a pediatric chiropractor and Webster Technique certified and can provide you more information.  Also, prenatal massage or acupuncture might help with the pain as well :)

    Hi,

    I have a good bit of right hip pain too. I find pigeon pose (yoga) helps a lot.

    I'm sure there are YouTube videos on how to so it... anyhow just an idea. It helps me a lot, I do it 3 or 4 times a day on both sides.

    Hope that helps a little. Oh, and I don't look like the babe in the photo, she does it perfectly...I just do as much as my body can take.

    Hope you feel better!
