I'm 29 weeks pregnant and regardless of either side that I sleep on. And how many pillows i use. I still wake up with painful hips on both sides. I mentioned this to my midwife and she suggested that I sleep on my back, propped up. I'm now lying in this position and I find it pretty comfortable so far, no pain. Just relief 😊 Will give a review to this position when i wake up 😊
I'm at 5 months and started to have alot of hip pain at 2months... I let my seamstress made a small comfortable baby like pillow for my hips and it does help. Also I let my husband do soft massages daily which also help a lot, and I feel better. ❤.. I wish every delivery mom a healthy happy safe delivery 😊
I’m 19 weeks and am in agony every night, no amount of pillows or different positions have helped so far. I just need to sleep on my back but I’m still wary
My hip pain literally makes me moan at night. I keep changing positions like every 30 mins.. and it just disrupts my sleep!! And I'm only in my 2nd trimester. Not sleeping at night is a real nightmare😢 I practily sleep proped up in bed like sitting in bed, only then can I catch a few hours sleep
I’m 27 weeks pregnant and have been struggling with my sleep, being woken up by awful hip pain during the night which was only getting worse. I’d been using a pregnancy pillow which helped a bit but not much. Since I implemented the things you recommend in this video I wake up pain free the next morning - thank you so much!
This is music to my ears Anna!!! It makes me so happy!! As YT creators it is always so nice to get feedback on our videos, what has helped people and made a difference for them ❤️❤️ This helps me to keep going and posting new content! Hope you keep having pain free nights for the rest of your pregnancy and thanks for following my channel!
I’ve always been a side sleeper anyway but omg the pain now. I’m 23wks and it gets worse every week. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I don’t remember it being this bad before. I’ve got a bump wedge and knee support pillow still can’t seem to find relief. Roll on delivery day!
I am in tears watching this video and reading the research, it feels like such a relief that I can adjust my sleeping positions during the night because I've been sleep deprived due to pain in my hips and knees and feeling anxious about falling asleep on my back as I am now 21 weeks. I had put a pillow behind me, preventing me from falling asleep on my back, but that left me with a lot of back pain. I also did the exercise against the wall with a wool dryer ball and felt a lot of relief from that as wel. Thank you so much! Love from Sweden
Lots of fantastic suggestions that I'm looking forward to trying, thank you! I'm not sure when you filmed this but unfortunately recent research has shown that sleeping on your back in the third trimester is associated with an increased risk of stillbirth. I was advised by both my maternal-foetal medicine specialist and a midwife to avoid that position and there's also recently been a lot of public health messaging on the topic in Australia.
@@BeyondBirthingPelvicFloorPT I shared a link to a meta analysis a few days ago, but unfortunately the comment has disappeared-maybe TH-cam prevents link sharing? Do you have a Facebook or Instagram page that I could send a message to?
Interesting! I just looked and didn’t see any comments held for review. Anyways yes if you can dm me on Insta @beyondbirthingpt that would be awesome!! Thanks a lot!
They say not to lie FLAT on your back. As long as you are propped up to either the right or the left, you should be good. Back sleeping after 28 weeks was physically painful for me and I could tell immediately that it cut off blood circulation.
I recommend going to a Chiro once a week. This has helped me SO MUCH with pain during my entire pregnancy. I am still able to get good sleep at night, take a nap during the day and I've been working on my feet 4 days a week at 38 weeks pregnant! It's been a lifesaver!
It’s hilarious that we give ourselves hip pain(because is the only way to sleep without killing our baby) and then work on ways to fix the pain we just caused to our bodies🙃
What is helping me with heep pain is that my husband massages my hips every night before ned. It helps coz i can start feeling pain around 4.00 am as compared to the first weeks when it would staarts just an hour after i enter bed.
30 weeks pregnant and suffering! I do keep 4 massive pillows around me. My husband says it’s like a fort haha. I’m going to try the ball at the small of my waist. It’s true what you said about sleeping positions… I read not to sleep on my back when I was 4 weeks in so it’s been basically 7+ months of side sleeping. Some days I cry in pain. I’ll also try propping myself up high.
Back sleeping is only a no no after 28 weeks. I'm not sure who told you no to back sleeping completely but I feel so bad for you! Side sleeping for that long sucks!
@@Oliviagold__ you can prop yourself up to either the left or right but yes, they definitely recommend not sleeping flat on your back. It's not good at all. Your doctor should be able to explain it to you as well
My best friend who is a labor and delivery NP said to not sleep on your back because the baby can compress the umbilical cord and it could be fatal for the baby.
This is true but in that case it would trigger symptoms for the mama such as being nauseated, light headed, short of breath or just wouldn’t feel right. That is why going off of symptoms is OK. But in any case follow your intuition - if sleeping on your back triggers more anxiety than anything, then avoid this position :)
Also note that this situation would happen more likely after the 30th week of pregnancy, not in early pregnancy / second trimester. Check out this study: www.nichd.nih.gov/newsroom/news/092019-pregnancy-sleep-position
Hi Carole! Thanks for reaching out. Like I said, we want to try and alternate between right and left side, and even on the back can be OK if you don't present symptoms of dizziness/shortness of breath/nausea - but check with your medical provider to make sure. If there is no medical reason for you to be sleeping only on your left side, then you should try and vary your positions through the night. No one is meant to stay still while sleeping. Even a non pregnant person would have hip pain if they were sleeping only on the left side through the entire night. And yes sleeping on the left can sometimes cause pain on the right depending on mattress' firmness, body alignment etc. Varying positions a lot would be my advice and using sleep props. Hope this helps.
Maam my fetus kicks me if I don’t sleep on my left side. I can’t change my position even if I want to. I m not getting it what it could be ? Can you pls explain what to do in such situations?

Why do providers act like they have never heard of hip pain? I said something and they looked at me like I was crazy. Thank you for this information

My hip pain is so bad and I’m only 17 weeks in😞I have to change positions every 30mins or so…going to try these tips
Let me know how it goes ❤❤❤
Hey! I too had hip and pubic bone pain in my second trimester but i continued walking and luckily it reduced as time went
I'm 12weeks and started when I was 8! Been thinking about the pregnancy pillow that early because it's a sharp pain.
I’m 19 weeks and am in agony every night, no amount of pillows or different positions have helped so far. I just need to sleep on my back but I’m still wary
Same here
I use the babymoov dream belt for my belly! It has small cushions on the sides so you don't have to keep placing stuff under your belly! ❤

@@MrsMuffin11that’s right, you are doing the right thing by listening to your body and avoiding the positions that trigger symptoms.
I thought I was going crazy 😮 thanks for sharing
Started in my second trimester but definitely worse in my 3rd. extremely painful. I have to flip every 15 minutes at night
Yes same here

Thank you for sharing this video I wondering why am I having hip pain at night when pregnant
Same. I woke up tonight in excruciating pain. Hoping this helps us both
Thank you so much for this video. This was really helpful!
You are so welcome!! I am happy it helped!

Try a chiropractor! That has helped me immensely! I go once a week! :)
Thank you for those tips! (Is that, by any chance, a French-Canadian Quebec accent I'm hearing? Fellow Quebecker here)
Hahaha bin oui bin oui! Bien vu!
I’m in Ontario and recognized that too 😂 thank you for this video!

@@MrsMuffin11I’m currently 29 weeks, so don’t sleep on my back? And why ?
I pain in my ribs and I’m assuming it’s from sleeping on my sides
@@Oliviagold__ not flat on your back. I would say Google it lol
The weight of the baby can cut off the blood circulation and it can be dangerous
@@Oliviagold__ you can prop yourself up to either the left or right but yes, they definitely recommend not sleeping flat on your back. It's not good at all. Your doctor should be able to explain it to you as well
Thanks for this video
Thank you so much for this video. It was helpful.
Am 31 weeks and I feel back pain alot.
Thanks so much ❤️😍 this is so helpful
You’re welcome!
can you use a theragun for massage on hips during pregnancy?
Yes, sleeping my left side is very uncomfortable.
I can't f sleep. I am afraid of my vessels if I sleep on my back. Thank you so much for the video 🤗
Can any one tell me why my baby moves right side when i lay down on bed right side and baby comes left side when i turn my left side. Its normal
This video really help me with my hip ❤❤❤❤
It's my sciatica nerve in my hip that's causing me not to be able to move
Check out this video about sciatica! th-cam.com/video/JuEzPBkMv-Q/w-d-xo.html

Same here, maybe we are not doing it correctly
Thank you!!!!!
You are welcome :) :)
Thanks so much😂
Thanks a lot for your videos 🥰🥰
Please do sleeping constantly on the left side causes right hip pain???

I have too much pain 😢😢😢. I am 32 weeks pregnant
My midwife is the one who told me not to sleep on my back. Is she full of it??
I always encourage to follow your provider’s advice as she knows best what your condition is. In doubt you can ask for a second opinion :)
My left hip at 23weeks... Wueh.... expecting twins
Maam my fetus kicks me if I don’t sleep on my left side. I can’t change my position even if I want to. I m not getting it what it could be ? Can you pls explain what to do in such situations?
My 2nd baby would do cartwheels when I changed sides. I ended up mostly sleeping on my back but propped up like in a chair and it helped
What helped you ? I can’t bare the pain and I’m 33 weeks … waking up crying every hour
My entire sides hurt. I’m a stomach sleeper.
