back pain and hip pain

[babymakes04]

Does anyone else get either one of these after sleeping all nite or even during the nite?  Like from laying on one side too long...ugh.  I cant seem to stay comfy and Im only 16 weeks 2 day!  Long time left!  Any suggestions as to what to do to be comfy?  I havea body pillow already...

I deal with the same thing every night and am 22 weeks. I find it helps to sleep with your head propped higher and put a pillow underneath your back and hips. Switch sides frequently

Ugh I do the pillow between the legs EVERY NITE and it doesnt seem to help.  I wake up and cant sleep after that i toss and turn.  I need a good pill to knock me out so i dont feel it....suggestions lol.  I go to the dr on thursday so I am going to ask then what I can do.

Yes! It's usually in my hips and shoulders though.

I have been dealing with the same thing. I get 2 hrs of sleep before I wake up with pain in my side leg and back. I can't go another night like this. Going to buy some pillows to see if that helps.

I've been suffering from the samething since i was about 14 weeks.  I have spd though.  I've found that wearing a maternity belt helps a little and sleeping with a pillow between my legs helps out.  They say prenatal yoga and stretching before bed helps out too.
