Sleeping trouble?

  Yes! I am right there with you. I use the snoogle pregnancy pillow and an additional body pillow between my knees for even more support, but my hips are still killing me. I get up and take a warm bath around 5 each morning to try to get them to calm down. Yoga & stretching helps too, but who wants to get up and do that in the middle of the night? It would be nice if I could sleep until my alarm instead of waking up at 5 hurting so badly I can’t get back to sleep.

  I don't know if this will help anyone, but I have had to start sleeping sitting up at the beginning of the night because of heartburn. If I lie flat, I'll vomit. About halfway through the night I move down and onto my side. Because I'm sleeping, essentially on my back for a few hours, it seems to help my hips. 
  It took a few nights before I could fall asleep upright, but now I seem to be used to it. 
  We're also in harvest season so it helps that I'm exhausted by the time I'm ready for bed. 
  I used to wake up around 4am with terrible hip pain on both sides. crossing my fingers that it doesn't come back.

  I thought about trying that. I haven’t yet, but I was seriously considering trying sleeping in the glider/recliner we just got for the nursery and seeing if the incline helps the hip situation. I’ll have to give it a go.

  Try a firm pillow in between the knees and taking a magnesium supplement before you go to sleep.
