Help me sleep???

Question

I’m 21+5 weeks pregnant and my hips are killing me when I’m trying to sleep. Laying on my side is hurting so bad. Even with a pregnancy pillow. I don’t know what to do to get comfortable. Any tips or tricks? It’s mainly the hip I lay on that hurts the worse but I feel a strain on the other too but I’m more comfortable on my right side but I know I can’t lay on that side for long... any advice or things I could try is appreciated! Thank you!!

Answer

28 weeks and I can’t lie on my side for more than a few minutes without my legs going numb and a sharp pain in my rib cage! I’ve given up on that.
I sleep on my back but reclined. I bundle up a blanket like a ramp and put two pillows one under my back one under my head. It works well for me, I wake up feeling great. Your back is safe if you aren’t laying totally flat. You can buy incline wedge pillows too but so far my blanket set up has been working

Answer

I flip sides every time I get up to go to the bathroom (every two hours or so for me), put a small pillow under my belly, and try not to sleep on a 90°angle so I put let pressure on my hips. I still have some hip pain, but it's better with those measures. I'm about thirty weeks right now.

Answer

I've been putting a normal pillow under the hip/ thigh then pregnancy pillow between my legs and tried to proper upper body up a bit, will your doc refer you to physio? X
