Answer 1

Hip pain is a common complaint in pregnancy although it is not widely researched. It is often grouped together with pelvic pain as a whole. It is often a problem at night in bed and makes sleeping difficult.

During pregnancy the body releases hormones which relax the ligaments that support your joints. This happens virtually from conception as Nature's way of preparing the body for labour. The extra movement this allows around the pelvis is helpful for giving birth. However, it can lead to some discomfort earlier in pregnancy which may get worse as you increase in size and weight.

There are a number of simple remedies which you can try for yourself which may be helpful. It is important to adopt a sleeping posture in which all the joints around the pelvis and hips are well supported. This would mean sleeping on your side with both legs bent and a pillow between the knees supporting the whole length of your leg. A pillow under your bump is also needed to stop you rolling forward. Putting an extra layer of padding, such as a sleeping bag or quilt, under your bottom sheet can also improve matters. You may also find gentle heat in the form of a hot water bottle or wheat bag on your hips helpful.

Another tip is to avoid sitting with your legs crossed and, while relaxing or watching telly, to ensure you are sitting upright with a small, rolled-up cushion or towel supporting the arch at the bottom of your back. Avoid activities which appear to aggravate the pain, too.
