hip and back pain

I am 19 weeks 3 days and for the past few days I have had the worst hip and back pain.everytime I walk my hips feel like they are going to pop out of socket and my back is just very sore...feels like I need to crack it. Is this normal because it hurts so bad and makes it hard to do much of anything.thanks ladies

a hip brace was recommended to me for this pregnancy as my second one was very painful.

I started seeing a chiropractor around 20wks and it has been the best idea ever.  I didn't with my first pregnancy and was absolutely miserable with joint pain by 30 weeks.

Your ligaments loosening can cause hip problems. It's painful, but a physical therapist and or a GOOD chiro can help. Take some magnesium b12 AFTER baby comes to make sure your hip ligaments tighten or you will have problems like I have for 3 yrs,  potentially.  Important not to take magnesium while pregnant bc it tightens the ligaments that need to be loosened for birth, ublessed you are a 100% csection then talk to your Dr and you can probably take it to help now.
