The chiro does special stretching/aligning/popping to my lower back and hip.  I honestly thought going to a chiropractor would be completely worthless, but I am delightfully surprised :-).  Heck my hip pain was so bad my ob was suggesting a cane!!!!! it's awkward I won't lie lol,  you lay on your side and CRACK! Then your back, CRACK! Your other side, CRACK! Wherever else you need cracked, POP!  Then you lay for a couple minutes to relax.  Takes about 15ish minutes.  But the doc evaluates you before cracking anything though.  He (or she) will have you stand up, bend over a bit, they'll feel your spine, so on so forth.  I'm happy I started going lol

I started having HORRIBLE lower back and hip pain with my last pregnancy.  And now with this one too!  I finally gave in to my bf's mom nagging that I should see a chiropractor.  I'm happy I did!!! I always thought chiropractors were kinda, well, I've never been to one because I thought it was stupid.  I've gone two times a week for the past three weeks and now my hip has stopped hurting, and my lower back only occasionally hurts.

Im 27 weeks and the pain kill, after sitting for about 5 min i cannot just get up and walk, both hips feel as if there broken and im trying to walk on them. and laying down just seems to make it worse. takes me forever to fall asleep because the pain is so bad.  I don't take any meds, but pain is so bad need to talk to dr about what i can do to relieve some of this pain. Have any of you tried yoga?

Yes torture! I don't know the gender either. We went in for our 21 week ultrasound but couldn't tell! I'm doing good. I was real sick at first up until 16 weeks so I'm thankful for no morning sickness. This is my first baby. Are you doing good other than the pain?

I'm 23 weeks and 3 days.. my lower back and ribs kill! I find myself in tears a lot from this. Today it was my lower back and right hip! First time I've had sore hips. I started sleeping on my side since the baby doesn't like me on my back anymore. My Dr says I can use a heating pad before bed or before I get up on my lower back and ribs. It helps!
