Hips are SO SORE

Raggedy1 · February 2013

I feel like someone has been pulling on my legs all day. I mean, my hips/groin are SO SORE and there's no reason for it besides pregnancy. I can barely stand up, and when I do, it takes a few steps to get my muscles moving. Please tell me a few of you have felt like this? I asked my OB yesterday, but she really didn't say anything about it. If I weren't pregnant I'd probably be taking pain meds/advil/whatever for it. It bugged me that the OB just fluffed it off like it's no big deal, meanwhile it really dictates my day.

I feel like this today. Have you tried a prenatal cradle? My sister let me have hers after she was done with it and it seems to take a lot of pressure off my pelvis. I didn't wear it today and I am noticing a difference.

I had some horrible hip pain at various times throughout the 2nd tri. I had a killer time trying to sleep because being on my side hurt really badly. I hope you feel better soon.

I have a prenatal support belt, is that the same thing as a prenatal cradle? If not, what brand do you have? If this lasts another day then I am ordering one on Amazon ASAP. I just woke up from a nap and could barely stand and walk.

This is how I was before I had my twins too. I was in sheer agony. =( I feel for you because I know how horrible it was for me.

I'm not sure if they are exactly the same. The cradle goes around the stomach and over the shoulders. I have to pin the straps to my bra so that they don't show at my neckline but it seems like it helps.

My hips aren't necessarily sore, but my back and groin are, especially when I first stand up. My OB recommended the Prenatal Cradle. That is actually the brand name but is is manufactured by a company called It's you babe. My OB specifically recommended the "original". This is the one that goes over your shoulders. I looked at the manufacturer's website and the original was listed for $58. I ordered one from Amazon on Tuesday for $37. It wasn't listed as the original in the specifications but the pictures look about the same.

Here is a link to Amazon with some of the Prenatal Cradle styles https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=prenatal%20cradle&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aprenatal%20cradle

One other thing to keep in mind is the sizes. I would normally look for a "plus sized" but the way Prenatal Cradle does it's sizing is different. A "Large" is for someone who weighs 250-300 pounds.

I am really hoping it brings some relief!
