Hip pain already at 19 weeks...

[Jayray]

Any suggestions for making it better? I try heat, which sometimes works. I did yoga today, which worked while I was doing the yoga and about 30 minutes afterward. It is often really painful to bend down to pick things up and I have a toddler I have to deal with!!!

I had horrible hip pain in my third pregnancy, it got so bad that I had to sleep in the recliner for two monthes and I couln't even go up or down stairs. In pregnancy #4, I was terrified of that pain again, epecially since it started a week before my bfp! However, that time I found a chiro that practiced the Webster Technique and it made all the difference (I had been seeing a chiro in my pregnancy before, but she used different technique). GL, hope you find something that works.

I had some pretty bad tailbone/hip pain around 12-14 weeks (it lasted 2-3 weeks) It was sore and then sometimes would be really sharp when I bent or took a step. It went away though, so I hope you have similar luck!

I had hip pain in my third trimester with my last baby, so I don't really expect it to go away.

I've never been to a chiropractor and the idea kind of freaks me out a little. Is the Webster technique very gentle?

Routine visits to a chiropractor, if you're able.

I just wanted to add this link about Webster Technique. If you click on "Find Doctor" on the left side of the screen, you can see if there is one in your area. http://icpa4kids.com/about/webster_technique.htm
It is very gentle, not pain whatsoever. Your chiro may also be able to recommend exercises that can help strenthen the hip.
