Pillow for hip pains?

Question

For some reason now when I sleep, my hips tend to hurt and causes me to constantly wake up and toss and turn. Is there something for this? 😞

Answer

I found one of those neck pillows (shaped like a kidney bean) in our closet and I put that under the hip on the side I'm laying on the part of my hip that gets sore is in the hole and the pillow is above/below. It takes some of the pressure off. I am able to sleep 1.5-2 hour at a time before needing to switch sides (vs. 45-60 minutes at a time). By about 4 am though, both hips hurt and I have to get up just to relieve the pain. The first few steps out of bed, I feel like I am 90 years old. I am wondering if the pressure makes my legs fall asleep.

Answer

A body pillow does wonders!! If your willing to splurge the snoogle pregnancy pillow is even better. It's like $50 at buy buy baby or babies r us! You can probably find a coupon online.

Answer

Make sure you aren't still crossing your ankles when you're laying down legs should be equally separated the whole way down. Otherwise a memory foam topper helps, and lots of hot baths with Epsom salt to relieve any pain (if only for a little while) :)

My hubby got me the leechco for my birthday, best gift ever and you don't need to move the pillow when you move.

Answer

I find one of the big pregnancy pillows helps- I find having that between my legs takes pressure off for some reason, i think it just helps to support the joints.
