Does anyone have any tips on how to relieve lower back and hip pain? I'm currently at 35 weeks and around my hips on my back feel as if they are going to explode! Even when lying down.
Ha. I totally wish I had the answer because I am in the same boat... I do hot pads often and swim a lot. It does help with pain really but decreases the pressure
Stretching and walking / movement throughout the day. I mean it could honestly be the position of baby so not sure if this will help. I also sit in a yoga-like pose while on the sofa in the evenings (knees bent with feet tucked close to my thighs touching each other...I'm sure there's a name for it). "Downward facing" dog also helps a lot!
But seriously walking a lot at work has helped a lot with this. Thankful I have a job where I'm on my feet 95% of the time. Every body is different though. Hope you find some relief.
If your hips are aching at night, try adding an extra pillow between your legs- I've been sleeping with a snoogle but it is a few years old and has flattened a bit so I tried adding another pillow last night and it made a huge difference.
