Suggestions for treating severe hip pain during pregnancy?

Suggestions for treating severe hip pain during pregnancy?I am currently 34 wks 4 days pregnant (first pregnancy) and for the past week or so I have been having severe hip pain on my right side. I have tried everything from hot baths, heating pad and tylenol with hardly any relief. The pain has now gotten so bad it hurts to walk and climb stairs. My doctor said it's normal to have this pain. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this before and what suggestions you may have for relieving the pain.

Thanks!

Oh god i hear ya honey... mine are killing me!!
I went to my local physio who did gentle acupuncture on my back and hip... I can tell you this 100% works. It provided me with relief for at least 3 days and I am going to get this ever week now until bub comes.
My physio advised acupuncture to be very safe whilst pregnant... Oh and I promise it doesnt hurt at all.

OH Baby Baby! 10wks left!!
ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!

I have the hip pain on my left side, to the point where I can't walk (like today), and I also have the pinched nerve in my left buttox where my whole left leg goes numb and I'm literally not gong anywhere. Any which way I move it's horrible pain!

I've really just taken it easy. On really bad days, I just lay in bed. Talk to your obgyn and see what he says before you take any pain meds.

But I definitely know your pain.

Felly
I had terrible hip pain during my pregnancy (took a tumble down the stairs at 25 weeks... ouch) and I strongly recommend going to see a chiropractor who specializes in pregnant women. After two visits my pain was gone! A chiropractor will also make sure that your pelvis and lower back are all properly aligned which can make delivery a whole lot easier!

Good luck with everything!

I would advise that you go and get checked for separation pubic Synthesis. It's a condition some pregnant mothers get, its where the body produces too much of the hormone that makes the ligaments lacks ready for baby to come out, although very painful it is proof that you are getting ready for baby coming.

There isn't a right lot that can be done about it, i was advised to take two paracetamol when required, every day if necessary and i was offered a support from phsyio which velcros under the bump and gives more support.

Good luck and i hope you find some relief with the pain, babies almost here now :-)
