Hip pain, what can I do?
When I sleep, I end up on my side. Lying on my left side seems to be the position that helps my heart palpitations but I end up in the right sometimes. Lying on my back is the worst and I am already worried about how it will feel during my C-section. I think that all my weight lands on my hips when I lie down and that is why I have pain. I have tried special pillows, regular pillows, all kinds of props. Is there a better position or a way to modify my position? I will try a fluffy pillow under me. My mattress is very firm and that may not be good right now. Are there some good stretches to try?

Re: Hip pain, what can I do?
I have had awful hip pain when sleeping since the 6th week...sometimes it gets a little better and then gets bad again. Sometimes it helps to put a pillow between my legs(one that goes from my knees down to my feet), sometimes to put one behind my back, sometimes to do both and sometimes neither works. I find myself waking up repeatedly throughout the night, then turning onto my back and pushing my pelvis forward to stretch it, then switching sides I was laying on...this seems to help the best--but I have to keep doing it everytime I wake up. Good Luck..its not fun but Ive kind of gotten used to it.

Do you use a pillow between your legs?
I found "some" relief when I was leaning in a slight angle towards my back with pillow stopping me to go on my back.

That sometimes helps for me also...but I also have to put a hand under my belly then or it feels weird.

I use the pillow and it helps a little bit, but less and less as time goes on. So far the best pillow I have found is the little travel one that I bought for going on airplanes.
