I JUST googled yoga stretches to help hip pain (really productive at work here today ;)). I will try some ..... ! 16.more.weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain/page/2#post-2249891 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:33:19 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2249891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: Ugh, I'm sorry - I totally feel your pain. At this point, I'm rolling over every hour, and its a huge feat to accomplish. Chiropractic didn't work for me last time, and this pregnancy, I've been doing some prenatal yoga. The stretches to open up your hips seem to really be helping with some of the pain - but ultimately, I haven't found anything that truly helps with night time sleep.<br /> Hope you find something that at least gets you THROUGH the next few months! (Or that it goes away soon!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain/page/2#post-2249880 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:29:45 +0000 wrkbrk 2249880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: Haha ok! Ask him if you remember! I will investigate it online then make my case again. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249877 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:28:16 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2249877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I'd have to ask DH. The first time.e I just got 2 from Target. Somehow that was cheaper than one thick one. This one we ha e now he got me as a gift once we found out we were pregnant again because after 2 years of use the first set had begun to lose its... foaminess. I am IN LOVE with this new one though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249854 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:16:56 +0000 wrkbrk 2249854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I will try again!! Haha. Do you know which brand you bought that helped you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249853 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:16:10 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2249853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: bummer. Ours technically does too but we added 4 inches of memory foam to help my hips because it was getting too painful to sleep and walking, as a result was painful too. Just point out your are the one pregnant! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249851 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:14:25 +0000 wrkbrk 2249851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I sadly cant get DW on board with that since she says our mattress has a built-in foam pad on top. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249849 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:14:04 +0000 wrkbrk 2249849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I thought about sleeping basically upright propped up on pillows! I am going to try that tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249767 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:33:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 2249767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of hip pain (and pelvic pain) during pregnancy, and ended up having to sleep fairly upright near the end of the pregnancy and on and off throughout because of it. What helped the most was chiro and PT. I went to PT 2-3x a week and that deep tissue massage they did helped SO MUCH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249765 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:31:29 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2249765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy a foam mattress topper and it helped a TON last pregnancy. We upgraded for this pregnancy and it has been a life saver at 21 weeks so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2249762 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:28:55 +0000 wrkbrk 2249762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping in case anyone has any additional suggestions. :/</p> <p>I bought the belly band and it helps slightly (though it wont stay in place when I am sleeping!) and I tried doing some cardio and walking during the day but ... </p> <p>I still wake up every 30 minutes or so all night long to turn over. The hip I am sleeping on hurts a LOT. All night long. 16 more weeks. Ugh ............. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2242567 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 07:04:57 +0000 wrkbrk 2242567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I think I am going to order it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241609 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 09:29:12 +0000 Anagram 2241609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I have the same maternity support belt as Regberadaisy, and I do wear it while sleeping. basically 24/7 unless showering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241577 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 09:03:37 +0000 Greentea 2241577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had terrible sciatic pain, and doing gentle warrior 1 and 2 helped immensely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241566 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 08:52:18 +0000 wrkbrk 2241566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241564 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 08:51:22 +0000 Banana330 2241564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had terrible butt/lower back pain and hip pain when I slept. I found switching sides often helped. I told my midwife I was barely sleeping from the hip pain and insomnia, she convinced me to take Tylenol and a sleep aid. I was hesitant but it really helped me get the rest I needed and sleep through the night ( minus pee breaks cause nothing can get rid of that) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241366 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 22:11:32 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2241366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had excruciating hip pain for about a month in the 2nd tri and it's was by far the hardest part of my pregnancy (including a med-free birth). Here's what I reco:</p> <p>1. Chiro (like other have said). Make sure they have experience working with pregnant women.<br /> 2. Learn the proper way to get out of bed, the car, up from a chair/couch. I was doing it wrong and making it worse all day long! My chiro gave me demos but you can also Google.<br /> 3. Pre-natal yoga. I was overdoing it with regular yoga which got my body out of alignment. PN yoga helped to give me a gentle activity to keep my body moving and strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241318 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 21:00:29 +0000 Astro Bee 2241318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of things helped: my prenatal yoga instructor recommended stretches and exercises, as well as to use yoga-tune up balls to massage the buttock and hip. Basically, lean against the wall with the ball bw you and the wall, and massage it in. Having your muscles relaxed will prevent hip pain that night. A squash ball will do in a pinch. I also had DH massage my bad hip most evenings for the last couple of months. Except for having to pee every couple of hours, it enabled me to get a semi-decent night's rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241313 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 20:56:55 +0000 jh524 2241313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I know what your going through because I went through it too!! I had the worst hip pain and it would just throb whichever side i was laying on so I couldn't get comfortable! There's hope for you!!! I went and bought a 4" Foam mattress topper from Costco for less than $1@@ and it was a life saver!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241259 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 19:50:25 +0000 regberadaisy 2241259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: nope, it's meant to relieve pressure when you're walking. No help on the sleep front. The snoogle was my most hated loved item at the third tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241255 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 19:46:08 +0000 wrkbrk 2241255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: did you wear it to sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241250 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 19:33:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2241250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I used this one It's You Babe Mini Cradle, Small (136-180 Pounds) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I615Q4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_clzRvbFAZSJ96" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I615Q4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_clzRvbFAZSJ96</a></p> <p>But I know a lot of people really like this one as well Gabrialla Elastic Maternity Support Belt (Medium Support), Size Medium, White <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZKE4AM/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_UlzRvbKP043" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZKE4AM/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_UlzRvbKP043</a></p> <p>I have chronic hip pain that gets really bad during pregnancy. I could barely walk by 20 plus weeks. I can definitely notice the difference between when I'm wearing the support belt and not. But I will say in the last few weeks even with the belt the pain was pretty miserable. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241249 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 19:27:53 +0000 MrsRcCar 2241249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I used a pregnancy belt and chiro adjustments every other week. I have extremely loose joints so the pain started early. It was manageable as long as I was careful how much I did. Sleeping was never comfortable for me after 20 weeks. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241235 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 19:10:58 +0000 wrkbrk 2241235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ooo which one have you tried?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241217 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 18:35:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2241217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy support belt!!! Instant relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241204 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 18:18:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 2241204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: if you have access to a pool swimming really seemed to alleviate the pain. And I was going to say pillow between legs but see you are doing that already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241199 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 18:07:12 +0000 FannyMae 2241199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I'm right with you on this one. almost 22 weeks, but I've gotten hip pain from very early on (around 10ish weeks). even with a soft mattress protector and cushy pillow between my knees, by 5 am my hips are in agony. Heat pack sometimes works, and if it gets really realllly bad I might take a paracetamol. sucks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hip-pain#post-2241196 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 18:05:08 +0000 tofuwad 2241196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's your top hip I'd try adding more pillows between your legs, and if it's the bottom hip I'd add a mattress topper. I also found it helpful to place my top leg on top of several pillows and straighten my bottom leg. Also, I found hugging a pillow to be helpful because you can angle slightly forward. And it helps if your ankles aren't touching because if your ankles are touching that will still pull your top hip down. </p> <p>I've been having terrible hip pain and really placing almost all the pillows in the house under and around my legs has helped a lot. Plus I notice i have a lot more pain on days I slack off on walking. Good luck! :) </p>
