How Do You Relieve Hip Pain During Pregnancy?

I am in my 24th week of my second pregnancy and have been having pain in my hips for several weeks. I did not experience this with my first pregnancy and am not sure how to relieve the pain. I try to stretch and I sleep with a pillow between my knees but I am still waking up in the middle of the night in pain and have to roll over to the other side or sometimes get up and walk around a bit. If anybody knows of any good stretches I can do or anything else that might help I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Thanks and God Bless!

What can I do next?

when mine did this i would see a chiropractor, my hip would be out of place & they would put it back

sitting on a ball instead of a chair...prenatal yoga and pilates...these things saved my sanity!!!!!

I saw a chiropractor for hip pain pretty much every week during the last 10-13 weeks of my pregnancy. He was a God Send! I'm not sure I would have survived without him or rather, husband may not have survived! I leave near Tyler - so I don't think I am close to your area. But when I was in Arlington, we saw a chiropractor there that was amazing and not the typical "snap, crackle and pop" chiro. A little different, but she was good. Her clinic is Health by Hands in Arlington. Dr. Kathi Maher is her name.

I saw a chiropractor. Cari Beesinger in Wichita Falls, to be precise.

Depending on where you are in the metroplex, if you decide to pursue chiropractic care, you may want to check out Lifetime Family Wellness Center in Hurst. www.famiy-wellness.com
They are very gentle with pregnant mamas, and their care makes such a big difference. Their office is next door to a birth center, and most of the pregnant mamas from the birth center see them for care throughout their pregnancies. They are also Christians, if that makes any difference to you.
You can also go to www.icpa4kids.org to search for chiropractors trained specifically to treat pregnant women.

Might be that your sacrum is out of place. I visited Coppell Chiropractor and Wellness center and they accepted my insurance. I got my sacrum adjusted and a pregnancy massage for an hour. I was unable to walk for two days before finding them.

I had the same problem when I was pregnant with my twins and oh, do I feel your pain! During the day it felt like my hip was bruised and at night it was unbearable. We have a sleep # bed with a pillowtop mattress. My husband bought a thick foam pad for our bed. It isn't the egg crate kind. It's like the foam beds that you can buy but it is just a pad about 2 inches thick. I can't remember what it is called. A thicker pillow between your legs might help, too.
