  Ugh!  Yes, my right hip hurt so bad for the longest time. My babies will be 2 in a month and sometimes it still stiffens up when I stand up and start walking. But for a while after my babies were born, my hip hurt pretty much all the time, like every time I took a step. Now it just hurts now and then and only the first few steps. I have no idea why.

  My hips are the same way .... i limp for a minute after i stand up! Ive also have pains in my feet and legs! Im thinking that its nerve damage from the babies and the flip flops i was forced to wear because i couldnt fit into any other type of shoe! Good luck!

  I had this after my singleton pregnancy, and ironically enough it is much better(almost completely gone) after this delivery. It makes me wonder if there was some kind of nerve damage or misplacement of something during my first c/s that got "put back" correctly during the second cs.

  My right hip is this way at times, particularly after working out. I have to have H stretch it and yoga helps too.

  It's horrible. I feel like my left one slides out of place. It's only been 5 months but I was hoping as I healed it would get better. Oh well I guess it's a small price to pay. At least there is hope of it getting better based on your responses. Thanks ladies!

  I'm in PT for my Diastis Recti (separated stomach muscles) from the pregnancy and my physical therapist is working on my hips too. They are so messed up that they are causing lower back pain.

  She has me doing lunges, clam shells (lay on your side with your knees bent and a band around them, then open knees and close knees like a clam), a stretch where you are on your back and your leg is crossed with one ankle on one knee and you bring your leg up to a 90 degree angle, then you switch legs. There are a few others that are difficult to describe. Maybe you can go on you tube and look up some things you can do at home to stretch and strengthen your hips?
