When will my hip stop hurting?

[wem]

DD2 is 3 months old. My hip started hurting when I was pregnant with her, and I hoped it would be one of those things that would disappear when I gave birth, but it's still happening. It only hurts when I lie on my side (either side) in bed.

I think the hormones that loosen up your joints in pregnancy hang around for a while afterwards, but for how long? And is that likely to be what's wrong?

Not sure, but possible I would think. Perhaps see if your GP can refer you for physio to help strengthen it?

I'm going to see a consultant obstetrician in a couple of weeks about something separate, do you think they'd be willing to talk to me about it? I guess they'll probably say to go to my gp too.
