18 weeks hip pain :-(

[Whatchoodoin]

Hey ladies, just that really. I have absolutely horrendous hip pain in both sides. It’s on the outer ball joint area of my hips. Its worse when I’m sleeping or walking. My skin feels like it goes numb when it happens but it’s mostly deep inside the bone.

I’ve been sleeping with pillows all over the place, between my knees etc.

Any advice? I’m going to self refer to Physio this week as it’s getting really bad!

Go see an osteopath.

Chances are you have SPD. I had this with both my pregnancies. I went to my GP who referred me to the physio who gave some exercises but mainly showed you how to cope with everyday things to make life easier. They also suggested a pelvic belt might help. This one was suggested and it really helped although I was also on crutches. For the last 3/4 months or my pregnancy.

Thanks for your replies, I did consider spd but because of where the pain is I didn’t think it was? Didn’t know it can affect the hip area too, I just thought it was mainly in the pelvis/ Pubic area. Sorry I’m misinformed. X

That's what I have right now and I'm only 13 weeks.
Deep ache on left hip and worse when I lie on it sleeping and have to stretch it out and move to other side.

It a probably SPD but I am going to see the pregnancy physio and beg for help as it really bloody hurts.

I’m with you gryffen! Bloody horrible pain isn’t it. Hopefully we both find a way through! X
