I am now 37 weeks, but for weeks now everytime I go to lay down on my left side with a pillow between my legs.. I cant stand the pain I get in my Right Hip though, which is weird to me because I haven`t put any pressure on it... anybody else experiencing this??? I don`t think Sciatica (sp?) because I heard that hurts ALL the time, this just mainly hurts when I lay down in bed on the left side... anyone else???

candace3 - 184 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would think it is normal due to the weight and pressure of the baby. The end is in sight...just a few more weeks. Tylenol or a warm compress might help.

Laura Ward - 185 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Your pelvis is beginning to widen to allow room for the baby to come through, which can be very painful. I had a hard time with this pain in my last pregnancy and it became so intense I could hardly walk at times. I went to a physical therapist and that helped alot. Through some simple daily exercises and massage, I was able to handle it better. The therapist also found out that one of my legs is slightly longer than the other and that was the cause of some of my pain. She did recommend using a pillow between the legs while sleeping and doing exercises before bed. You can safely take tylenol to help with the pain also. I know it hurts, I feel for you!

mattie4 - 185 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) definetly sounds like a pinched nerve and the weight of the baby is just making it worse

Carmione - 185 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) With your joints loosened up, it's easy to have just gravity become a bother and cause aches and pains. I have to switch hips after about 15 minutes or so because of the aches that start at the hips and run down to my knees.

christen - 185 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i had the same thing happen when i was pregnant with my daughter....the doctor said it was just pressure put on your hip bone by the baby

LMO - 185 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) maybe the baby is pushing on it when you are laying down
