Why my right side hip is paining during pregnancy?

Question

Since a few days my right hip is hurting, specially when i turn in bed at night or get up after sitting. Im 28 weeks now. Is this just the normal pregnancy aches or should i mention it to my doc?

Pillow between knees was a game changer for my hip pain.

Hip pain on one side is super common, its the ligaments loosening and baby's weight shifting. A pillow between your knees while sleeping helps a lot. I had it both times. If its very severe or with numbness though, mention to your gynac.

Oh I have the exact same thing, right hip aches especially at night. Was getting worried it was something serious. Glad to hear its common. Does the pillow trick really help?

My physio gave me some gentle stretches for hip pain and they really helped, but I did them only after my gynac approved. Prenatal yoga eased mine too. Sleeping on the left with a pillow support also made a difference.
