Hip pain: For those with pelvic pain while pregnant, what are forms of relief do you use?

For those with pelvic pain while pregnant, what are forms of relief do you use?I have bad pelvic pain from the ligaments stretching apart from hip to hip already at week 29 of pregnancy every time i sit or stand or lift my legs, esp from the sleeping position to standing. Is my only option to get a pelvic girdle to relieve the pressure?? how normal is this pain? how many of u have had it? i'm not overweight, nor have i gained much weight & early 30s. will it worsen do u think?

I had it for all of my last trimester, and it was awful. And yes, it got worse for me as I got near the end.

The only things I could do were to walk slowly, have my legs touching/facing the same direction as I sat down or stood up, and holding my breath and gritting my teeth as I rolled over in bed. Using a pillow between my legs as I slept helped a little bit.

i don't know if this will help you but it has helped me with pelvic pain & back pain . Try pelvic tilts, you know get on all fours & rock your pelvic area in & out. It helps me hope things get better

The only thing that worked for me was taking a hot bath and using heating pads!!!

put a pillow between your legs when you sleep and try sleeping with a body pillow...they are great! Do some slow walking around the block, maybe that will help
