At least until 8 months when it was a lost cause! Also, prenatal massage. Temporary relief, but sweet nonetheless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-sleeping-with-hipsciatic-nerveback-pain#post-766548 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:20:50 +0000 Ms.SK 766548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a great tip that really helped about a year ago on HB. I slept with a small pillow under my thigh for a few nights. Not sure if it made one of the twins move off the nerve or took the pressure off but the sweet relief! Then I had physical therapy and started sleeping with a pillow in between my legs. I had the pillow up high and rested my whole bent leg on it. I did that until after I had the babies. It took the weight of my top leg off my bottom leg/hip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-sleeping-with-hipsciatic-nerveback-pain#post-766480 Tue, 07 May 2013 19:33:44 +0000 blackbird 766480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, the more pillows, the better. Whenever my hips angled in, that hurt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-sleeping-with-hipsciatic-nerveback-pain#post-766476 Tue, 07 May 2013 19:32:21 +0000 immabeetoo 766476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>check out yelp for chiros, or see if there are any local mama email groups or facebook groups to ask.</p> <p>i had lots of back pain/issues and had the best luck playing around with pillow arrangements. My best luck came with a small wedge pillow under the small of my back and a body pillow between my legs. (also tried a snoogle). sometimes it helped to just use a sheet bunched up under my head instead of a pillow as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-sleeping-with-hipsciatic-nerveback-pain#post-766458 Tue, 07 May 2013 19:16:10 +0000 ShootingStar 766458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could try a thin pillow between your legs at night. To find a chiro I would just use google maps to find one close by and then check out their websites (I'm a website snob, lol) and we if they take my ins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-sleeping-with-hipsciatic-nerveback-pain#post-766452 Tue, 07 May 2013 19:10:19 +0000 sslm 766452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bad hip pain while sleeping pretty much my whole pregnancy and never figured out a way to make it better :( my midwife suggested a Tylenol before bed but I never tried it. Maybe you could try that? Have you tried a pregnancy pillow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-sleeping-with-hipsciatic-nerveback-pain#post-766430 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:57:27 +0000 kjpugs 766430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all! I'm 17 weeks and have had bad hip/lower back / sciatic nerve pain. I work from home and have been unable to exercise like I was pre preg (5k's) due to nausea and energy. I talked to my doctor and will try some midday walks, and got a low impact easy pregnancy workout DVD. But any tips for sleeping?? When I lay down at night it's agony. Maybe a thin or small pillow to go under my back? I'm usually better on my side but even just relaxing pre-sleep sucks. Anything work to give you restful sleep?</p> <p>And any tips for finding a chiro would be great. The Cigna website BLOWS and I have no idea what type of chiro to look for. We don't have many friends in FL/Orlando so rec's are out. Thanks for the advice HB buddies! </p>
