back and hip pain?

Question

Ive been trying to sleep on my sides like is recommended EVERYWHERE! But the hip I'm laying on starts to ache and stays that way for the rest of the night. Plus if I lay on my left side my right thigh starts tingling? It's the strangest feeling! Plus wonderful lower back pain. Anyone else have these problems? I've been sleeping with a pillow between my legs but t doesn't seem to be helping? Any suggestions?

Answer

Thank you so much ladies. This information is very helpful! I'm going to try some new pillow positioning tonight! My husband has already warned our son not to be worried if Daddy's on the couch, because of all my pillows! 😂

I have to constantly be changing up my pillow situation lol I now sleep with 3 pillows under my head, one beneath me to support my back and belly and a body pillow. My husband calls it "the pillow ramp" lol I had to add the pillow under my body because of my back and hip pain and it really helped! I just kept trying different things until I found something that worked. Good luck and I hope you get some sleep! ❤️

I am in the same boat! I use the snoogle pillow. I got mine at babies r us. I found I needed more support. Even with it between my knees I would wake up with my hips in pain. I started using a second pillow underneath my knees and one in between. It elevates my knees and hips just slightly and takes the pressure off immensely. I also sleep with one behind my back slightly on top of it, which helps with my lower back pain. Unfortunately it's something that's probably only going to get worse as the pregnancy progresses. I'm currently 22w4d.

Answer

YES! I spend more time awake than I do asleep. I have terrible back and hip pain! The only things that have helped me a little bit is a wedge pillow under my belly to relieve the tugging feeling on my back, a pillow between my knees, and a smaller pillow under my butt/hip. It's crazy in my bed with all the pillows haha

Answer

I have a boppy body pillow I've been using since the first trimester lol. I've always used that for the pillow between the legs, but recently I've been needing more support, so I bought a boppy pregnancy wedge for $15. You can use it a lot of different ways - I've used it for lumbar support, under my hips, and wedged under my belly. It's little but it's been very useful for me. I also got a maternity support belt due to groin/hip pain and that helps a lot during the day.
