It could be TMJ.
Symptoms:
Pain is the most common symptom. TMJ pain is often described as a dull aching pain in the jaw joint and nearby areas, including the ear, which comes and goes. Some people, however, report no pain, but still have problems using their jaws. Other symptoms can include:
Being unable to open the mouth comfortably
Clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint
Locking of the jaw when attempting to open the mouth
Headaches
A bite that feels uncomfortable or “off”
Neck, shoulder and back pain
Swelling on the side of the face
Additional symptoms may include: ringing in the ears, ear pain, decreased hearing, dizziness and vision problems.
Keep in mind that occasional discomfort in the jaw joint or chewing muscles is common, and is not always a cause for concern. Many people with certain TMJ problems get better without treatment. Often the problem goes away on its own in several weeks to months. However, if the pain is severe and lasts more than a few weeks, see your healthcare provider.

I am 26 weeks and have the same problem too. At first it was awful hip pain, but I started seeing a chiropractor and physical therapist which was SO helpful. I highly recommend it. I also use the pillows between my knees but am now wondering if that is making it worse --- I might switch it up. I am normally a back sleeper and hate sleeping on my side so I'm going to ask my doctor if I can sleep on my back again. My main problem is waking up with awful hip cramps and leg cramps. So before bed and when I wake up, I do lots of hip and leg stretches. I notice my hamstrings are really tight too. Good luck, I hope this helps.
