I was scared of the chiropractor, too, but it turns out I needed it pretty badly. I love my massages but chiropractor ended up being pretty affordable since most of it was covered by insurance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-982209 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:42:46 +0000 raintreebee 982209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally feel your pain. A stretching regime similar to this has helped me. <a href="http://orthoinfo.org/PDFs/Rehab_Hip_3.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://orthoinfo.org/PDFs/Rehab_Hip_3.pdf</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980863 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:56:36 +0000 runsyellowlites 980863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up with pgp when I slipped into an almost horizontal split at 5mth pregnant. eek!</p> <p>What helped was seeing the chiro AND he had me do a few exercises at home.</p> <p>Pelvic tilts while on my back actually helped a TON! I did 10 holding each for 10 seconds. And he had DH pull on my leg while laying on my back at a slight angle in (I would ask for instructions from the chiro) and that helped tons too.</p> <p>Hope you can figure out something that will work for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980843 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:52:04 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 980843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had crying in the night pain around that time. Maybe try acupuncture? It's really not painful at all...it's relaxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980404 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:08:23 +0000 NovBaby1112 980404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had horrible horrible hip pain at night while pregnant. it was awful, i could barely sleep some nights. i did some research and bought a foam mattress topper like this one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/DreamDNA-Density-Memory-Foam-Mattress/dp/B00CGMBDU6/ref=sr_1_1?s=bedbath&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1375366005&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=foam+mattress+queen" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/DreamDNA-Density-Memory-Foam-Mattress/dp/B00CGMBDU6/ref=sr_1_1?s=bedbath&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1375366005&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=foam+mattress+queen</a></p> <p>it helped soooo much!!! seriously well worth it! you just put it over your mattress and it takes so much pressure/weight off your hips. it felt like i was sleeping on a cloud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980398 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:06:28 +0000 Anagram 980398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@walnutems: I was scared of the chiropractor, too. I'd never been to one before pregnancy. But it wasn't painful at all!! I mean,literally...no discomfort or anything strange. My chiropractor was a dad of two kids and super knowledgable about pregnancy...and was also just a nice guy telling me I looked small for how far alone I was (haha, right), how I was still "limber", (haha.....don't think so) etc.</p> <p>Best of all, my insurance covered it, and the chiropractor's office did massages too--- also covered by insurance! So even if its a massage you're after, check out a chiropractor that has experience with regnant women (I just called a few places and asked on the phone if they worked with pregnant clients, they all said yes, then I just randomly picked one and ended up really liking the guy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980349 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:51:43 +0000 Ra 980349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The snoogle didn't really help me. I had terrible hip pain and unfortunately nothing helped. It went away right after I had him though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980342 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:48:13 +0000 Ash 980342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@walnutems: We have a queen size bed too... and either I sleep on the edge or dh because the snoogle takes up so.much.room. But I do love it! And no matter what, I end up on the edge of the bed!! Oh, and, I've been going to the chiropractor since before my bfp... still going about once a month (I'm 24 weeks) and 99% of the time, my body feels great!! I'd look into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980339 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:47:38 +0000 Meltini 980339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a prenatal massage and it didn't do ANYTHING for the pain. I enjoyed every second of it but I recommend going into it more for the relaxation than the pain relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980258 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:19:01 +0000 Turd Ferguson 980258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snoogle and a heating pad for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980257 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:18:40 +0000 walnutems 980257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: For some reason chiropractors scare me! I know a lot of people that love them and swear by them but I'm a scaredy cat! The thought of telling DH that I need a massage every month or so sounds so much more appealing, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980256 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:18:22 +0000 Meltini 980256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a snoogle and see a chiropractor. I'm pretty sure the chiropractor is the only thing that keeps me from being in pain daily. The snoogle doesn't really help that much but it is pretty nice to snuggle with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980242 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:13:54 +0000 bisous 980242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@walnutems: Oh-I also saw a chiropractor for the first time. That helped too!<br /> I got a massage while preg but it didn't do any good...they seemed to be too gentle (maybe the woman I got doesn't work with pregnant clients a lot, though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980233 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:11:21 +0000 bisous 980233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@walnutems: I had terrible hip pain from 25 weeks to a few weeks PP. Lots. Of. Pillows! </p> <p>I had a snoogle, too, in our full sized bed (DH was happy when we were done with that!), but I think what helped the most was the pillow between my ankles and the soft pillow under my hip. I kept a pillow between my knees, too, but I was using that when the hip pain appeared. My bed looked like a fort, but it did ease the terrible pain I was feeling in the middle of the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980229 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:09:58 +0000 walnutems 980229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Shoot...I was afraid of that. We have a nice and cozy queen :wink: so, I guess DH and I are going to have to figure out how to make it work!</p> <p>@Anagram: I've never been to a chiropractor, but I've heard good things. Did you ever try a massage? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980225 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:09:41 +0000 Adira 980225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice, but I had the same issue while pregnant. The good thing is, now at 5 months pp, my hips are back to normal and don't hurt all the time anymore!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980217 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:07:30 +0000 Weagle 980217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't find that using any particular pillow helped very much. I did get into a little routine where I would go to sleep with the pillow, take it away at the first wake-up, put it back at the second, etc. I think that did help a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980204 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:02:24 +0000 Anagram 980204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@walnutems: same with the snoogle. I had terrible hip pain and the snoogle helped a bit. I lucked out and got one through my local moms group for free (just bought a new pillowcase for it). </p> <p>Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I went to the chiropractor,too and the inky thing that really helped my hip pain was having my daughter. And then it still ismtakingma while for it to totally go away (I'm 3 weeks post partum). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980202 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:02:03 +0000 regberadaisy 980202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@walnutems: haha that thing is soooooo big and it's such a pain to rearrange. Which is why I had a love / hate relationship with it. We have a California king and it still didn't leave much room for DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980196 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:00:34 +0000 walnutems 980196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @yin: Did the snoogle take up your whole bed? was there any room for DH in there too? haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980179 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:54:27 +0000 yin 980179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A pregnacy pillow like the Snoogle helped with my first. This time around I'm lucky to have found the perfect position (curled up a bit with my knees tucked in) and haven't had hip pains so far at 25 weeks. No two pregnancies are alike though. I know I wouldn't have survived without my pillow the first time, and I even continued to use it a few weeks pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980176 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:53:51 +0000 regberadaisy 980176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@walnutems: I'm sorry. I've always had hip issues so being pregnant just aggravates. For me, as much as I hated the snoogle it was the only thing that provided <i>some </i>respite from the achey hips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-hip-painhow-diddo-you-deal#post-980164 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:51:00 +0000 walnutems 980164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 20 weeks this weekend. I have always, since I was little, slept on my sides with a pillow between my knees. For the past couple weeks I've been waking up in the middle of the night with extremely achy hips! To the point that I wake up and have to grimace when I try to move it hurts so bad.</p> <p>I've tried to lay on my back to stretch them out but I can't do that for long as it's super uncomfortable. I've resorted to getting up and trying to stretch my hips but that doesn't even really help.</p> <p>Did/do you have anything like this? How did you remedy it? Would something like a snoogle really help? I'm hesitant to buy something like that because there isn't a lot of extra bed space and I really don't want to have to kick DH out!</p> <p>Help!! </p>
