Hip pain???

Question

So I’ve tried the belt, I’ve tried all the pillow tricks, warm baths, reluctantly tried paracetamol, nothing is helping! I’m 36 Weeks pregnant and I’m actually in tears with my hips at times. Especially to go toilet during the night and getting up in the mornings. What else can I do? I’m only 5ft 1 and still very petite in size? It’s just so unbearable now I’m losing hope 😫😫

Answer

I feel ur pain.. i have a labrum tear in my right hip joint and trouble with my lower back which leads to frequent sciatica pain down my right leg.. unfortunately other than warm baths, hot water bottles and exercise we have no option but to endure the pain. 
Avoid triggers eg. sitting or driving for too long and follow simple physio for ur hip like stretching and strengthening ur muscles there are loads of videos on youtube to help. Wish u get better quick 🙏🏼

Answer

Sounds to me that you have SPD otherwise known as pelvic girdle pain. You may benefit from some physio therapy. As your midwife to refer you. I'm having the same problems. I was referred to physio 2 weeks ago but I'm still waiting! I struggle putting my socks/knickers/pants on, walking, getting in and out of bed ect
 It's horrendous.

Answer

I’m 5ft and I had the same trouble, I think I lived with a hot water bottle strapped to my lower back but honestly nothing really helped me. 
Do you sleep with a pregnancy pillow? I found using that took loads of pressure off my hips when laid down. But walking around was near enough impossible.
Everybody used to say ‘oooo not long now’ but I understand when you’re in that much pain everyday feels like forever.

Answer

Talk to your Dr/ midwife see if there's anything they can give you.
Otherwise sleep upright in a chair or sofa.

Answer

Did you find anything to help. Just having this last 2 weeks I’m 31 weeks along and can barely walk it gets so bad. Midwife referred me to physio just waiting now

Answer

I had SPD with both pregnancies and going to the chiropractor has really helped. I was struggling to walk with my first at the end but I’ve been a lot better this time.
