Terrible hip pain

[MissTwister]

Can anyone help I'm only 20 weeks but my hip pain at night is so bad I can barely sleep - I don't fancy another 20 weeks of this! I bought a dream genii pillow but it seems to make no difference/ somehow make it more uncomfortable. My hips actually crack back in when I turn. Help!!

Go to the doctor and get a referral for physio! It can be a long wait but best to do it ASAP. I am suffering at 16 weeks and am going to go to the docs this week if possible.

Okay thanks Pinkie, I had a look online and this seems fairly common but unfortunately not that solvable!

I would see a osteopath if you can afford to pay for it.

I suffered badly in my last pregnancy and seeing the osteopath and having it manipulated once a week kept me sane!

Thanks - Amy other advice I can do myself. Am really struggling at the moment, hardly sleeping and this morning got up and cried!!!

I'm exactly the same only 22 weeks. I had spd with my lat pregnancy so recognised it straight away. I had a physio appointment yesterday. They suggested buying a pelvic support band for in the day. Buying a birthin ball to sit on at home in place of the sofa (I was already doing this) sleeping with extra pillows sup porting the back, hips, and knees. That's just to name a few. Hope you manage to find some relief x

Do yourself a favour and get one of these

Thanks for the pillow recommendation - I have been using a Dream Genii which is similar but I am sure it is making it worse. The problem is the pain is the left hip mostly so it's at the bottom.
