can't sleep

I'm 28 weeks and 4 days.

So my left hips hurts a lot and sleeping on it makes me worse.  My right ribs hurt so again can't sleep on that side.  I tried sleeping in a big reclining chair and honestly even the slight recline position makes my heart feel stressed.  I haven't slept in 4 days and I won't see my doc for another 2 weeks.

I'm still working almost full time and seriously can't go on not sleeping.

Should I try to see her sooner?

Any other advice to get some sleep?

I just want to cry :(

I bought this huge U shaped pregnancy pillow on Amazon. It's helped a lot. One side of the U goes between your legs. You can also flip it upside down and that helps your position if you want to sleep on your back.

Call your dr, let them know. I don't sleep either. I'm in the same boat severe hip pain on left side. What has really helped me is prenatal yoga. Or just stretching. I just have a DVD, I don't have time to get to a class (I have to keep up with my two other very busy/active children-7 yrs and 17 months). The yoga does wonders. My DVD is only 20 mins long. If I don't do the whole yoga DVD a great stretch is the warrior pose (easily found online), modify it to were your comfortable, and next to a wall or chair for support, balance is off when prego. I've done several massages they don't help, when your prego they don't use a lot of pressure. I'm going to try acupuncture too. Every time I've been prego I get severe hip pain (my 1st I had sciatica pain/spasms.) also try walking even a short walk will help keep the pain away.
