Im in my 7th month and the hip pain at night is unbearable, cant find any comfortable position to sleep. Mere saath this started recently. How do u all get some relief? pls help
I had severe hip pain in my third trimester, but daily gentle pelvic stretches and sleeping with a pregnancy pillow between my knees worked wonders! It kept my alignment right for a smooth normal delivery. Do try it!
My mother-in-law used to give me a warm mustard oil massage for my hips, which gave so much relief. Just make sure the pressure is very light. Always consult your doctor before doing any heavy stretching.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom used to keep a warm water bag on my lower back and hips. Sleeping on my side with a pillow tucked under my tummy and between my legs also helped a lot.
This is so common because of the hormone relaxin loosening your joints. Try a warm bath, use a pregnancy pillow, and avoid sitting cross-legged. Hang in there, it usually goes away after delivery!
Carrying twins meant my hips were practically screaming by week 28! A pregnancy support belt was the only thing that kept me standing. That, and making my husband massage my feet every single night!
Sleeping with a pillow between my knees was a lifesaver for my hip pain. I had a C-section later, but managing pregnancy aches with simple side-sleeping postures really kept me comfortable. Rest as much as possible.
At my hospital, the physiotherapist taught me specific pelvic tilt exercises for hip pain. I suggest asking your gynac if they can recommend a safe therapist at your hospital to show you correct postures.
