Side sleepers - do your hips and shoulders hurt?

Question

I usually sleep on my back and I'm trying to train myself now for side sleeping but it hurts my hips (just the boney part that sticks out lol) and sometimes my shoulders. Anyone else with the same problem? What did you do?

Answer

I sleep on my side but use a body pillow between my legs - it seems to help so hip pain.  Occasionally my shoulder hurts but most nights I am fine

Answer

My hips and shoulders hurt in the beginning sleeping on my side but it went away after 20 weeks.

Answer

They did for a few weeks in my pregnancy but it ended up being the bed because when we switched beds it went away

Answer

Yes!! So bad! My hips go numb and my shoulders are all cramped up.

Answer

I'm usually a side sleeper, but when pregnant my hips literally go numb when I lay on my side. I can't sleep on my side so I toss and turn all night pretty much.

Answer

Yeeeesss. I try to stay on my left side and my hips and lower back are in agony lol

Answer

I have a bad hip anyways so yes my left hip is beyond ready for this baby to be here (next week) and for me to be able to go back to sleeping in a position that doesn’t hurt! It’s fairly normal. Try switching to your right side every once in a while and use pillows between your legs (I don’t use a pregnancy pillow as I find it’s harder to maneuver them into the position that works for me. I just use two king sized pillows instead)

Answer

Body pillow works for me!

Answer

Pregnancy pillow for the win

Answer

I’m currently 27 weeks and have been sleeping on my side since week 20. I’ve always been a back sleeper. My hips and shoulders hurt soooo bad, and it only seems to be getting worse! 😞
