Hi ladies, I've been having some dull hip pain lately and I'm wondering if it could be related to pregnancy. Is hip pain considered a symptom of early pregnancy for some women? Any insights would be helpful!
I totally panicked when my hips started aching at just 8 weeks, thinking something was wrong. But my doctor reassured me that the hormone relaxin is already starting to loosen up the ligaments. It is totally normal, so please don't stress!
Yes, hip and back aches can start surprisingly early. Along with my awful morning sickness, this hip pain made the first trimester tough. Try sleeping with a pillow between your knees, it really helps take the pressure off.
Because of my PCOS, I was extra cautious about every single pain and ache. Hip pain can happen as the pelvic area starts adjusting, but just observe if it is mild. It's always best to share these symptoms with your doctor during your routine checkup.
I am currently 14 weeks and my hips have been aching so much, especially at night! I thought this only happens in the third trimester when the baby gets heavy. Does anyone else have tips on how to sit or sleep comfortably to ease this?
I didn't know hip pain could be a symptom so early! We are trying to conceive, so I am learning all these small things. Please take care of yourself, and maybe try some gentle stretching if your doctor allows.
Actually, my gynac explained that even in early pregnancy, the body releases a hormone called relaxin which softens the ligaments in your pelvis. This can cause hip discomfort or lower back pain early on. If the pain is sharp or accompanied by spotting, let your doctor know.
