I am 17 weeks now ut the last week or so I have had a really bad pain in my hips (one or the other or both) when I move from sitting to standing and sometimes with other movements as well. It is really pretty severe and lasts probably anywhere between 2-10 minutes after the initial pain. I fell ok generally but I have felt a little stiff at night.
This is my 4th baby and with the others I have had discomfort if I move awkwardly but nothing like this and especially not so early on. The midwife listened to the heartbeat on friday and the baby was so low it was almost indecent, right between my hips. Could this have something to do with the pain or could it just be the result of it being my fourth in 6 years?
Is there anything I can do to help it, I walk a few miles a day to school and nursery etc so I need my hips to hold up until the summer!.
