I've had a backache for a couple of days and just now I'm getting some really sore hip pains on the left side. Midwife told me to expect a few aches at this stage.
The backache doesn't bother me that much but the hip pain really hurts/is really uncomfortable when it comes What's the best way to ease them? Also what positions have worked for you guys to ease it? |

Warm bath, propping pillows while sleeping, that's about as far as I can help with  Unfortunately I'm now getting back pain from lying on my side, but I've gotta sleep lots and I can't sleep well on my tummy LOL-------------  |

| lol I would imagine that sleeping on your tummy might be a little difficult |

When I was pregnant we put a wool overlay on top of our mattress for extra padding and I also used pillows and that helped ease the pain. You could perhaps put an extra duvet on top of your mattress??? ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

I find keeping active helps, soaking in a warm bath, and definatly sleeping with pillow between legs, underbump and against back.
With HAleigh I got quite sore back and hips, somedays I found it ahrd to walk, but once I walked for a while or did my antenatal exercises it felt better. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I had that exact same left side pain at about 17 weeks too. It bloody hurt and I just had to find a position I was comfortable in and stay there for a while. Although it usually hurt more when I got up. Didn't last long though. I haven't had any pains for weeks. |

| Yeah I have it too and it only gets worse and mine never went away completely after having Jack either. I find going for really long walks makes it so bad and haven't really found anything to make it too much better. |

Ok so not that affordable for some I realise, but we bought a six massage package I think... and it was well worth it for me !! Ended up making friends with the lady that owns / runs it, which is great too (she was a support person for me at Erin's birth). ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater
