So first pregnancy had slight right hip pain when I was sleeping but wasnt too bad and it never really went away after i had my baby! Now 2nd pregnancy 2 years later and it is unbearable. I'll wake up at 3am in agony and now with my bump gettin bigger I cant lie on my stomach in my comfy position. Been to physio and nothing they can do. they have given me a brace to wear at night but its not doing much good. Tried pillows between knees but i just find this so uncomfortable! Has anyone had any success with the long sleeping pillows specifically for pregnancy then you can use for feeding afterwards? Any help much appreciated!

O I'm in the same position as you very painful hips like you I had slight hip pain with my son, but this second pregnancy I have pelvis girdle pain and severe hip pain worse at night. I'm half sleepin on my side and on a pillow first time round I put a duvet under my bed sheets which helped have you tried this or gettin a memory foam mattress topper? Pillows between legs is good. How far along are you into pregnancy? X
