hip/pelvic pain

[missyjoan]

hi mums! i am currently 32 weeks and have horrible hip and pelvic pain, there feels like theres so much pressure on my pelvis and it feels like its about to break and my hips feel like they are grinding. its so painful to walk or even just stand, rolling over in bed is also difficult due to pain :( any tips on what to do? i have a pillow between my legs when i sleep and try to get around as much as possible to keep my hips moving but its not getting any better :( this has been happening since about 28 weeks

I had this problem with my first and it's getting the same now, I know what you mean about turning in bed omg!! It's like you have an elephant on your pelvis it feels really heavy to turn, anyway what got me through was I brought a gym ball £5) and doing pelvic exercise on there witch is sitting on it legs apart back straight and just twirling your hips around in a circle, you will hear grinding and it feels such a relief, I promise it will help straight away, ( will ease it anyway) and yes the pillow I between your legs at night try folding the pillow in half so it's thicker, I hope this helps

Its very normal it means baby is getting ready I'm due Sunday and have had pelvic pressure for a month now. Ask your doctor about a belly supporter and it shall help.

Hi there! I would like to see the answers you get because my hips have been killing me and im only 21 weeks. Doctor said i was stretching that as long is not bleeding or heavy pelvic pain or cramps i should be fine. But im just like you i wake up in the middle of the night crying because my hips and booty hurts a lot! Give your doctor a call see what he tells you!
