Simple pain?

Yep it's normal unfortunately. Especially since it's your first baby, your hips are separating and stretching to make room for baby to come out. A good pregnancy pillow, support belt, and yoga ball can help to open your hips and alleviate some pain!

Completely normal, my left side gets so sore when I sleep on it (but it’s what I’m supposed to do for my high blood pressure) that by the time I flip over I have to grab the side of the bed just to get it done.
