I am 2 months pregnant and I have pain in my right hip, it isn't that bad though. It extends from my hip down my leg a little. In a way it feels like I am stretching or something. I don't know where my ancestors are from though, but this could be a very interesting research project. I almost lost my baby the other day due to the rh- thing, but now I got a shot and its all good. I got an early ultrasound out of the experience though, they are posted on my website. Anyone feel free to email me. |

hi, i'm 36 and have two daughters, aged 28 months and 10 and a half months. i recall having a little hip pain during my first pregnancy, but nothing like the second one. i gained a lot of weight with each pregnancy, and thought that might have exacerbated the problems, but after reading comments here i'm not sure. during my second pregnancy, the hip pain was there for about six months, but was most debilitating during the last three or four months. standing up or sitting down was horrible, and i hear all of you sisters about the middle of the night bathroom runs! i had to cling to the side of the sink to settle crookedly on the toilet! so why am i here now? well, after 10 and a half months of losing all that weight (78 pounds total) and getting into shape with yoga and walking, i suddenly have the problem again. this is a pain i had never experienced outside of pregnancy, so it's really freaking me out that it's back. i just kept counting the weeks until i had aja so |

I'm so relieved to know that there are other women experiencing the same kind of pain I am. I am 31 years old and about 27 weeks along in my first (and last) pregnancy and in ABSOLUTE pain in my right hip and leg. Funny, I, too, am of Danish descent and my mother experienced the same kind of pain in the latter part of her pregnancy with both her children. I have not found any relief from sleeping on my side or with a body pillow - what I have found that works best for me is a warm bath or relaxing swim (I live in Texas, we can swim until darn near November!) combined with an Icy Hot rubdown. My doctor says that it's my body getting ready for childbirth and I tend to agree with her. She agrees that the pain sometimes can be unbearable and is in total agreement with my methods of treatment but it's best to find whatever works best for you. |

I can honestly say that the hip and joint pain is the worse thing about pregnancy. I am on my first and the pain started around the fifth month but it wasn't something that a flip in bed and a stretch couldn't take care of but I'm finally in my last month and lately it's been sooooo bad that I have been crying myself to sleep. The pain starts in my hip and goes right down my legs. The best way I described it to my husband is imagine that you have the flu and every bone and muscle in your body is screaming and that's the way my hips and legs feel. I know that walking will help and it does do a temp fix but at night when you're totally exhausted the last thing a person wants to do is get up and go for a walk. I often wonder if the size of a person has anything to do with this condition and the size of the baby? I have very narrow hips and my doctor says I'm going to have a large baby, and everyone that I've spoke to hasn't experienced the pain I have but they have a more room b |

Hi, I was born with a dislocated right hip andsince my first son was born 4 years ago it hurts so bad all the time! I am 19 weeks pregnant with number 3 and it seems like the bigger I get the more painful it is. I am not of Norwegian descent,by the way. |

I finally found the name - pubic symphysis pain, or pelvic pain. Here is what I found: hormonal influences cause incrased movement of the hip and groin and tail bone areas. In some women, the bones actually separate a little and it hurts. So what someone mentioned below about what their doctor said it right. Doesn't make it any easier, but it is nice to know it has a name! Hang in there all you lovely pregnant mommas! Julie in MD |

I was searching the internet trying to find the proper name for the hip pain I have during pregnancies, and found your site. I have had 4 pregnancies, and the pain has gotten slightly worse with each. I was stunned to see the mention of Scandinavian backgrounds, since I am adopted but know that my bio mother was of Norwegian descent. Just nice to know I am not alone! We desire to have a large family, so I will probably experience this again. It is so worth the small hip pain, for a beautiful baby! Julie in MD |

I am 28 years old, married and 10 weeks pregnant with our first child. I happened to enter your site and found the sudject that has been really bothering me, HIP PAIN. I have been suffering from it since I were into my 5 week. It is almost incapacitating. I cry because of the pain specially at night. My husband has been trying to acommodate me with pillows at night but it doesn't seem to help. I was really starting to worry until I read your article. The doctors here don't seem to know too much about this condition but I'll make sure my doctor learns about it. We need help! By the way I'm in Miami, Florida USA. Thank you so so much for sharing with all of us your experience. Cynthia Medina |

hi it has been good to find out that there are more people who have similar problems to me. I had a son 21 months ago and from about 18weeks into my pregnancy i had problems wiht my hips and pelvis. the pain was worst at night time and by the time i was 7minths pregnant i could not sleep for more than 40 mins at a time without waking with excruciating pain. luckily my midwife and a doctor at the hospiutal i was at decided that this wasn't normal and i made an appointment for me to be seen by a physio who gave me a support belt and exercises but this did not help so they decided to trya nd induce me at 38weeks. unfortunately i had a bad reaction to the prostin gel that they use to induce you and thought i had contractions every 90seconds for a night i didn't dilate and my baby went into distress, they nearly gave me an emergeancy casarean! luckily things calmed downa nd after keeping me in for a few days the hospital sent me home for 2weeks, i continued to be seen at out patients |

I to have been haveing this night and morning hip problem. I have tried a couple of things that may help. Putting a layer of egg carton foam over your mattress (just in the places you need it)really helps. I also found that if you lay on your back bring your knees up then drop your legs out in a butterfly position it seems to relax all your hip and pelvic muscles. You might look a little strange but it works! I find that I can usualy fall back to sleep even in this position. I hope this will bring some comfort to someone. |

I find it quite interesting that you mention about hip pain. I did not read in any of the pregnancy books I have (neither did I find information related to hip pain in other web sites dedicated topregnaancy). I guess I may ask permission to join the club - even if I do not have a any scandinavian blood. I do experience hip pain, during the night and more pronounced in the morning ...it is either the pressure exerted on my hips by my own weight, or maybe I am growing during the night? I feel as if I stretch during the night. But I find this a minor inconvenience when compared to the joy I experience from being pregnant. Congratulations on your website! Alexandra |

I/m very glad to see that this is a common problem as I haven't seen it mentioned in amy books or on any other web sites. It does make you feel like you are going a little crazy. I was up at least 5 times last night. I find it helps to be on a softer surface and to have a pillow between my knees, but even then I still wake up with pain. I'm of an Irish/Scottish background and have never heard of this before. Thanks for the information. |

Hi - I have 4 children. During the first 3 pregnancies I had no hip problems, but with the 4th I did. Towards the end of the pregnancy, I had problems sleeping on one side or another for long periods of time. Then in the last few weeks, it was very frightening because I could hardly pull myself up and had to make an effort to walk in a regular way. My son from that pregnancy is now 3.5 years old, and I still have problems with my right hip. It clicks in and out sometimes and is sensitive to being leaned on for too long. I've found that walking helps, too much sitting aggravates the condition. This probably isn't true for pregnant women though, it's just the opposite. I'm relieved to see that I'm not alone with this problem. |

I am very excited to know that I am not "crazy" and that my
pain is shared by lots of other women! My doctor made me feel like I was dumb and didn't know what I was talking about. My right hip started hurting with my first child at around 4 1/2 months and about a month earlier with my second. It would get so bad that I could not get up and walk some days. It even hurt sitting! Sometimes there was nothing to do but cry. It was also very hard to sleep some nights. I was a full-time student with both of them, and I had to miss a few classes here and there because I couldn't walk. I have never endured so much pain as I did then, with my hip. Hopefully someone will be able to find out what exactly this is and why. I find it very intriguing too, that this is shared with women of Norweigan decent. My mother's side of the family are all from Sweden! |

I have had the crazy hip pain with this pregnancy and with my 2nd. My first was perfect. Both pregnancies I have developed what I have been calling sciatica in the first trimester. I am only 7 weeks along now and I have the pain most of the day. I am scared that in a few months I won't be able to walk. The pain I have is in the buttocks area I call it my hip because it is on the back side of the hip bone. It shoots down my leg sometimes. OUCH!!! Sleep is the only thing that I have found to make it go away. I rarely wake up with it. By 9 this morning I was feeling though. I am very discouraged! I don't know how I'll survive this pregnancy. I have gained little or no weight so far. My first I gained 40lbs and 2nd about 30. So I am scared!!!! My DR says physical therapy is the only thing he recomends. I did it with no real help with my last preg. THe good thing was that it went away after delivery. That is until my endometriosis came back. I thought I was in back |

This is one of the most fantastic web sites I've come across in searching for pregnancy information. It's very nicely put together, and this is the opinion of a web designer! *S* I've been experiencing hip pain for about 2 weeks now. I'm 25, mother of one boy who is 3.5. I'm 28 weeks into my second pregnancy. I've not yet spoken to my Dr. about this, but I also have severe lower back pain, which is a muscular problem that existed before, and is aggravated by pregnancy. What gives? Marie in Vermont |

The more people I talk to, the more I realize that hip pain is not that unusual during pregnancy. I just never thought it would happen to me! :) I am 34 weeks pregnant with my third child (a girl) and have been experiencing severe hip pain (left hip only) for a couple of weeks now. I have two boys (4 1/2 and 14 months) and I did not experience any hip pain with them. My doctor explained that the muscles and ligaments have softened around the hip joint due to the pregnancy hormones which causes the ball of the joint to shift and cause the pain. He told me there is really nothing I can do about it (except take Tylenol). I asked him how long it will continue to hurt and he told me it would likely return to normal about three weeks after giving birth. My doctor also implied that I may be having hip problems this time because of my age (I am 42). It's just unfortunate that there does not seem to be any treatment for this pain. It is very difficult to care for two young children |

I have hit the 6 month of pregancy and have been experiencing tremendous hip pain over the last week in both hip sockets. I sleep on my sides due to the baby getting so big. The pain is worse at night. I would describe the pain as persistent and it is centered deep within the hip and strong enough to wake me up at night. No position seems to be comfortable and I am exhausted when I finally do get up in the morning. I have not called my doctor yet. I will be calling her tomorrow. In reading through the information from people who have written to you, it seems there may not be alot of knowledge out there on what is causing this. If anyone has experienced this type of hip pain, I would appreciate your insight and counsel on how you alleviated the pain as well as any infro youu may have on exactly what causes this problem. By the way, I am Portugueses, Scotch/Irish descent and not Norwegian....so it may not have anything to do with ancestry.... |

I found it very interesting that this problem is most common in Scandinavian woman. My father is from Sandeford, Norway.I have mentioned to my doctor the intense pain that I am having and she just says that it is 'just part of being pregnant' and recommend Tylenol but I don't like to take any medicine while I am pregnant so I find myself suffering through it until it goes away for the day.I am 24 with a 1 year old son and I am 32 weeks pregnant now.I had this pain with my son as well as this pregnancy.I have tried sleeping many positions but none seem to help.I fear that I am plauged with this until delivery.When I wake up in the morning it takes me some time to get out of bed,and when I finally do I can barely walk.I feel like my feet are stuck to the floor and I have no control over my legs.My right side is the worst,with much of the pain in my pelvis.Once I finally take that first step my pelvic bones cracks and relieves some of the pressure.I am trying to find out as much infor |

Hello Katherine, Finding your web site was like winning the lottery! I only know one other woman who suffered from hip/pelvic pain during pregnacy. I found it very interesting that this problem is most common in Scandinavian woman. My father is from Sandeford, Norway and the other woman that I know that had hip/pelvic pain father is from Norway as well. I have mentioned to my doctor (who is a mother of three) the intense pain that I am having and she just says that it is 'just part of being pregnant'. She recomended me to take tylenol, but I don't like to take any medicine while I am pregnant so I find myself suffering through it until it goes away for the day. I am twenty four years old with a one year and four months old son and I am 32 weeks pregnant now. I had this pain with my son as well as this pregnancy. I have tried sleeping many positions but none seem to help. I fear that I am plauged with this until delivery. When I wake up in the morning it takes me some |

I just wanted to share my current experience with hip pain. I am half Norwegian and half Japanese, and I am 28 weeks pregnant. I started experiencing hip pain in my 24th week on my left side when I am asleep. The pain gets so intense, that I am constantly having to roll over to my right side to sleep. During the day, I am fine. It is interesting to read that so many Norwegian women experience this pain. I think I am going to buy a feather bed and see if that helps at all, after reading one of your entries that a soft bed helped one woman out. It's great to know I'm not the only one out there going through this. Mona |

I am eight months pregnant with my first child and I've had problems with hip pan from day one! My problem, however, is my doctor blames every pain I have on my hip pain, rather than writing the hip pain off as seems to be the case with most everyone else. My doctor claims the hip pain is called round ligament pain and that it is completely normal for pregnant women. My pain has gotten so bad that it has put me in the bed and I've had my hips lock up on me leaving me unable to move. However, now that I'm coming up on delivery day I'm experiencing new pains every day. When I bring these up to my doctor, she immediately announces that I'm still experiencing round ligament pain. She doesn't even take the time to listen to the full extent of what I'm experiencing. Even if I'm having pain in my back or my stomach, she automatically says ROUND LIGAMENT PAIN and goes about her way. If I wasn't about to give birth, I would change doctors. I can't help but think about how stran |

I also have hip pain and this is what brought me to your website. I am African American and only 8 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. I find it strange that most of our pain occurs on the right side. What is that all about? My pain is more intense at night when I'm sleeping. By morning, my hip is so stiff I can hardly get out of bed. I did find it helpful to sleep on a soft surface. During the later stages of my pregnancies, I would sleep on the couch to get some relief. Thank you for sharing. J Sanders |

I am in my 25th week and this is my second prenancy. I have a little German and Italian blood in me. I have had hip pain and round ligament pain unlike my last pregnancy. At night, I can actually make the center of my hips pop/crack like my knuckles. I just lay on my side and squeeze my legs together - pop, pop, pop! During the day I waddle more than last pregnancy. And if I do a lot of bending (I have a toddler) and housework - woe to my hips and back. Good luck to all - hope someone thinks of a good way to ease this predictament. |

Hello! Thank you for writing this article!! I am not alone! :) I began having hip problems in my last trimest with my third pregnancy, but later thought it was due to the size of my nine and a half pound little girl. With this prenancy the pain started in my fourth month and has been just horrid! I have sought out the methods of a chiropracotr out of desperation - my doctor had no suggestions. Thankfully I have only five weeks to go and hopefully the pain will vanish like it did last time. Thought you might be interested in knowing I am of Irish and German decent. I might have a bit of Sweede in me, but I am not clear on this. My question is one of build. I am tall, slender and slim hipped. I wonder if this has any bearing on the situation. Thanks again! You made my evening and I enjoyed reading portions of the various comments to my husband - he needed to hear them as much as I did! :-) From one sufferer to another, Camille Boise, Idaho USA |

let's try this again. I was very glad to find your page as I am only 15 weeks along and already experiencing the hip pain you speak of. When I asked friends and family if it was normal(this is my first)everyone said it wasn't anything they had experienced or even heard of. I work in an office setting so I sit pretty much all day. Believing that because I'm not "big" yet it couldn't be because of the pregnancy, I just thought the pain was do to not moving around enough during the day. I normally walk a mile a day (1/2 in the morning, 1/2 in the afternoon)and have noticed that the pain gets worse in the afternoons after both walks. By the time I go home, it hurts so much to walk, that I spend a lot of time laying on my side on the sofa which seems to help. You have a great site- thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one. For the sake of your findings, I live in the US, but I am of Norwiegan, Swedish -&- German heritage. |

I am 20 weeks along in my first pregnancy and due in April. I have had severe hip pain off and on all through my pregnancy, especially beginning in about my tenth week. I have had back problems for quite some time now, so I have never thought much about my hip pain...until now. My mother is Norwegian and my father is Swedish, which makes me almost full-blooded Scandinavian. Now I am wondering if this pain in being caused by my pregnancy instead of my normal back pain. I have noticed that the pain is aggravated by walking long distances or trying to walk too fast. Sometimes it gets so bad that I cannot even walk. There have been several instances where I have actually had to crawl on the floor for a time. I have found that sleeping on my side or stomach (I can still do that for a while) helps with the pain. |

I really enjoyed your website and i too have had lots of hip pain. My hip pain started when i was about 8 weeks along, at first i didn't think it was that bad but the longer it went, the more it hurt. I have read somewhere that many pregnant women's joints hurt because the ligiments and catrilage sofens so that it's easier for the baby to grow. One thing i have found that releives a lot of the pain is, my husband stands behind me and puts his thumbs in the top of my tailbone region and all of his other fingers on the outside of my hips and gently pushes and rubs in tiny little circles, everyone should try this, i don't know if i'm just lucky or if it's a real technique, but in my opinion, at this stage in the game, anything can help. Thanks Steffanie |

I have been experiencing severe hip pain (though I thought it was my back originally) for the last week. This pain started at around the 16 week mark for me, which I am told is quite early for this problem. People seem to be having a hard time understanding this problem (most people have never heard of it before). My doctor put me on bed rest for a week. This is my first day back at work and I am having a particularily hard time sitting at my desk all day. I am not Norwegian or of Norwegian decent. I was so glad to find this web site and have people that can relate. |

i'm so glad i found a web page with the problems i am having right this very minute. I've seen my regular ob-gyn and my general dr. and neither one of them can figure out what the problem is. I'm in severe pain and i may have to take my maternity alot earlier than expected. My left hip is numb with severe burning pain in my sockets? i've tried everything from pillows to switching positions and called the dr. many times and i really need help! What else could i possibly do to ease my pain. |

My daughter is almost 2 now, but I also had terrible hip pain during pregnancy, and was told by my chiropractor that it was due to the hormone relaxin. I don't know that I have Scandinavian ancestry, but I do have Dutch and German blood. (Does that count?) Debra |

I would just like to say, that it's nice to know i wasnt the only one suffering with hip pain (SPD). I experienced a really good first pregnancy, no problems what so ever, i gave birth to a little girl in June 95, just six weeks after giving birth i fell pregnant again, when i reached the 28th week of my pregnancy i noticed whilst standing up rocking my first born from side to side, there was a clicking sensation in my pubic area, but i never thought anything about it until a week later i started to develop pain in this area, i visited my GP whom told me that it was the pubic joints softening, preparing for birth! but nothing else was done, on May the 5th i gave birth to my son, no more problem after....then after a couple of years i fell pregnant again!, at about 26 weeks i started to experiance severe pain in the pubic joint it was so painful i could hardly walk or get in or out of bed, whenever i opened my legs the pain was terrible, i was sent to have physio, who measured exact |

HI There, It was interested reading the stories information about of the ladies having hip pain during pregnancy. Well I must have had that problem with my second child. I was so much in pain that I wanted to correct it. It lasted with me throughout my whole pregnancy and didn't even now what was going on. Everyone told me it was a siotic nerve but the pain was everywhere and mostly my right side like by the hips. After years of fighting the pain 2yrs later I was pregnant with my third child and somehow the pain just went away. I still to this day feel a little pain on my right him. Standing long periods of time or walking makes it painful. I sympathize with all who have that pain. I sure had my share of pain. Your site is a wonderful site and I enjoyed it. Aloha, Maxima |

This is the first sight I've seen that addresses the issue of the pain that seems totally unbarable most of the time. I am 5 months pregnant with my second child, my first is 7 years old this week. And I have unfortunatley had these pains for tha past 7 years, much worse now of course, but only until I got pregnant the first time. Doctors don't take me seriously either. But these pains in my hips make me feel old and wore down, I'm only 24. Hopefully someone, someday will listen. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Liz |

Hello to ALL, I am in the 29 week of my 3rd pregnancy. I experianced hip pain with allof my pregnancies, but this one isby far the worst!! NOT only do i have pain in my right hip, but it radiates down the entire front of my thigh to the top of my knee. It is a numb-like tingly pain. I had asked my doctor, and he says that it is a nerve called the psciatic nerve. Personally, I call it my PHSYCHOTIC NERVE. For itmakes me turn that way when the pain hits me! I will wakeup in the middle of the night out of a dead sleep because of the pain. I have a really great doctor, but he says there really isnt much i can do, other than keep it up, to lie on my left side, put pillows between my knees..and to do leg excersies while I am lying on my back. I cant say it has really helped. But I guess things such as this comes with the territory, and after my two gorgeous boys, and this boy on the way, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!! |

I am from Oklahoma. I too have had some hip pain, but mostly pain throughout the whole pelvic area. I tried to continue walking, which I did before pregnancy, but it just made things much worse!!! Some days the pain has been almost unbearable...difficult to just walk across the room. I am now in my 32nd week, and the pain has decreased somewhat but I am no longer walking for excercise. I have been forced to take it very easy. I only do as much as I feel that I can, and lie down when I need to. My doctor too says it is just from the relaxin produced during pregnancy. I don't know if I am of scandanavian desent. |

Thank you for your article on hip pain. I am six months pregnant and have experience hip pain at night while sleeping. It doesn't matter what position I sleep in, both my hips ache. So far, I have found no ease for my discomfort. I don't experience pain when I walk or climb stairs. I haven't asked my doctor yet about the discomfort. However, I plan to bring the matter up at my next appointment. I am praying that the pain eases with the birth of my child. Do you know of anyother sites that might explain more about this condition? Once again, thank you! |

Hallo Katherine I'm from South-Africa. I'm 16 weeks pregnant now and have expereinced extreme lower back pain and hip pain. My gino said to live with it so I went for a second opinion. This doctor was so shocked with my gino and gave me medication to releave the pain and relax the muscles. I can only use this in the early stages of pregnancy. But it did me the world of good and I can finally sleep through at night. This is also not common in South-Africa as no one seems to know about it when I spoke to them. But good luck to those whose doctors wont or cant help them. |

I have a son who is nearly 3 years old, and I am expecting my second baby in November. During my first pregnancy I had the most horrible pain in every possible part of the area around my hips and lower back side. The last two months of pregnancy was Hell, as I could only walk a little bit - that is, to the bathroom and back to bed - and only with the aid of my crutches. I could barely stand to sit down either, because of my pain, and even though there was some relief after I had given birth, I still had some pain, and some of it kept getting worse during the following six months. I could not carry the baby down the stairs, I could hardly walk anywherem, which meant total prison life, and finally I had so much pain from sitting down in any kind of chair, that alle forms of social life sort of vanished, as you don't feel like lying down during any dinner party. When my son was six months old, I found a Chinese doctor living here in Denmark, and he was the first person to treat me with |

I live in Michigan and and mostly of English descent. I only metion it because it seems like that's information that's interesting to you. My hip pain started the day before I started my second trimester. At first, my cyatic nerve was hurting me a lot. Then I woke up the next day and I was achy everywhere, but mostly in my hips, very lower back. I'm a waitress, and I thought it would go away once I started going, but it didn't stop. My husband is a reike healer and he made the pain go away long enough for my to sleep, but it just comes back. What can I do, if anything? |

Hello! I have just read your pages with great interest. I would like to commet your remark about hip pains. I am from Sweden but work and live in Oslo/Norway since 1986. Iam a physioterapist and I work for a fitness chain as fitness director. Amongst my specialities is training during pregnancy and after pregnancy. The worst thing for hip pains is NOT TO EXCERCISE, but you have to know how to excercise. There are surtain muscelgroups that will, if strong, help to stabalise the pelvic. It is a whole sience and very interesting. I just feel sorry that you recomend not to ecercise wich is totally wrong during pregnancy. Both the child and the becomming mother will feel a lot better with the right porsion of actvities. I am ecpecting my fifth child and very fit. I have helped a lot of wimmen to a healty activ pregnancy AND a safe and healty way back to your normal body.... Best regards Maria Ljungqvist |

I too have been having some pretty painful hip pain.Its all on my left side and I cant sleep on either side because it hurts so bad. I have a hard time walking, sitting or just plain standing. They tell me my hips are spreading, thats all great but this is my second preg. and I never had the problem with my first. Getting any relief to sleep is minimal and they want you well rested for delivery, How? I am due May 23rd and praaying that it all goes away soon. Yet it is nice to know that there are other women who are having the same problems I am. Glenda Keelean |

I am 11 weeks pregnant and this week have been going through severe hip pain. I have contacted my doctor's office about this and they said that there was pretty much nothing that they could do for me so, not to bother coming in. My OB won't even see me about this because, he's just too busy for me (and to think that I have the best OB in my area... how sad). I had a previous back injury that has caused me a lot of pain and occasional hip discomfort when my back was out of adjustment. But I am really afraid to go to the chiropractor because, every time I turn too far to the side, my ligaments feel like they are ripping apart. I can't even imagine what the pain would be like to have my back adjusted right now. I am pretty much at the end of my rope. If there is anyone who has any clue as to what I can do to help with this pain, please Email me. Thanks, Taneal |

Thanks for the information on hip pain during pregnancy. I am in my 32nd week of my first pregnancy and have been experiencing for over a month hip pain at night while I sleep. It gets worse as the night progresses especially when I turn from side to side, luckily it goes away during the day while I'm moving around. My doctor paid little attention to my complaint and the pregnancy books I have (which have been extremely helpful about other issues) didn't even mention it. I was starting to wonder whether it was all in my head. Though I am from Argentina (and linving in the US) my father is actually Norweigian! I hope my pain doesn't get as bad as others have described but I it is still not clear to me whether I should or should not exercise. |

Dear Kathrine,I am in my 31st week of pregnancy.I too am having very bad hip pain,mostly at night.The pain can get so bad that it prevents me from sleeping.What I find really interesting is that although I'm from Canada,my mother is Danish and my father is from nothern Germany.I was really surprised to hear that hip problems were more prevalent in scandinavian women.My doctor didn't show a great deal of concern when I told her about my hip pain.I hope you found my information helpful. |

It's nice to actually read that hip pain is more common that I thought. I live in Canada, but am of German descent. I keep complaining about the pain to my Dr. but she just says low back pain is normal. I can't see how this type of pain is normal. I can't walk very far or do much around the house. If I do, I can barely get off the couch or chair later. I've always had lower back pain, but this is so much more intense. It's mostly in my left hip, but my right one will bother me on occasion as well. The pain started after week 7 or 8, pretty early I thought -&- I'm only on week 21. I'm just hoping it goes away after the baby is born. I feel so limited to what I can do. |

I have had hip pain for a very long time now. Before I was even pregnant. It has always come and go, but now in my 2nd pregnancy I am experiencing pain so horrible. It is not all the time, but most. I am in my 27th week, but this has been going on for the whole time. I have an office job, and sit alot, just sitting my hip starts to ache, I cannot even describe the way it feels. It is like a constant piercing or stabbing feeling. If I clean house on the weekends I don't really feel it until I sit down for a minute to rest, after that if I try to get up and start again it is impossible. Once I lay down at night, I cannot move! I cannot roll over, or move from side to side. I cannot get out of the bed once I am in it, either, I CANNOT walk! I have to have my boyfriend help me. It scares me because in my job I work upstairs, and I cannot go down them without my hip 'catching'. I have almost fallen a few times! I try to tell my doctors about this and they just tell me to take tylenol. |

I am 31 yrs old and living in California,USA.I am 18 wks into my second pregnancy and experiencing quite a bit of hip pain.At night when trying to sleep I have to roll from side to side to keep the pain manageable.It hurts the most on the side that I am sleeping on.The pain feels like it is deep within the joint and radiates down my leg.It can be hard to tolerate.I am sure that it is caused by the relaxin and joint loosening during pregnancy,so I do not worry.I wish doctors were more informed on this subject.I appreciate your website devoted to this problem.Incidentally,I am of English and Irish descent.

Thank you so much for your website. I am an American living in Bergen, Norway who is currently experiencing terrible hip pain at 11w with multiples. I had slight (short lived) hip pain with my second child while living in NY... go figure??? I am very frightened by the things my Norwegian friends tell me about the risks involved in this sort of hip pain... permanent damage!!! Feel free to write back. |

Dear Katherine, I am from Malaysia..and talk about hip pain...I am experiencing it now. Iam pregnant with my first baby and into my 25th weeks. I have been having this problem since two weeks ago. It does make me walk akwardly and when I told this to my doctor, he mentioned that it is because of my baby now is becoming heavier.I experienced this hip pain after I sit on a hard surface...on a chair without cushion but sometimes I do experienced it after I lie down for a while. Anyway, last night is the most unbeareable pain that I cannot even get myself to sleep, so I asked my husband to give me a massage on the hip. When he tried to massage, at first i felt so painful but i urge him to carry on with the massage...and the result...i feel better and the pain is no longer there. I slept till 12 noon today. I think ...it help by loosening the muscle a bit. |

I'm 20 weeks pregnant, and have had hip pain for the last 4 weeks or so. It's much worse in my right hip, and really bothers me when I lie down, especially if I lie on my side. Some days are worse than others. I've mentioned this to my doctor, who said not to worry unless it effects my walking. Easier said than done since it interferes with my much-needed sleep at night! Thanks for your web page - it's good to know I'm not alone! Alison Parker Colorado Springs, CO P.S. I'm not of Scandinavian or Norwegian descent. |

I am 13 weeks pregnant and have been having lower back and hip pain for almost 5 weeks now. I have not gained any weight yet. I work as a certified nursing assisstant at a local hospital. The pain gets worse the longer I am on my feet and the more I do. I am unable to move to a different area to work at the moment and end up having difficulty sleeping and getting out of bed. Am starting to worry what the next 6 months are going to be like as the baby gets bigger. |

I have exactly the type of pain you described! It started at about 4 mos. of pregnancy and I am now entering my 8th month. It started as pain in my right hip after exertion such as hiking with my dog or cleaning the house. Post-vacuum cleaning is especially bad. Now, the pain is much worse. I don't have to do much besides some squatting/ bending during the day, and then at night I am a useless lump hardly able to walk upstairs to bed. Last night, I got up to pee, and almost fell down, it hurt so bad. My husband had to carry me back to bed!! I was born with slight hip dysplasia in my right hip and had to wear a brace for several months, so I just thought the pain was due to that, and stretching ligaments, etc. It's good to know I am not the only one out there with this problem. I am going to a PT starting this week, so hopefully they can help. |

Wow - this is the first time I have seen anything to 'justify' that I really do have hip pain. And it is my right hip. I am not of Scandinavian descent. My right hip has ached continuously since the birth of my third child. It did hurt in my last month of pregnancy as well. My baby is now almost three. I have been to 3 doctors and got 3 opinions. One did not believe me. I did have some physical therapy which only helped when I was there. I would be interested in any response to help me feel better. Otherwise I am perfectly healthy, not overweight, and I eat well. Dawn |

I am a 23 year old first time mother, and have for the greater part of the third trimester (I'm 37 weeks right now) been experiencing excruciating pain in my right hip. Now, during the later part of the 2nd trimster and first week or so of the third trimester I felt sciatic nerve pain in *both* hips, but the pain that I've been feeling in my right hip has progressed to the point where I am now a virtual invalid. My poor husband is reduced to half-carrying me around the house, and I can't even get up to go to the bathroom without help now. The extremely severe pain began last night, but it has been progressing slowly over the past several weeks. Every now and then, I still get a twinge in my left hip.. but it's NOTHING like the pain in my right hip. And when I asked my doctor about it, she just sort of looked at me like I was a whimp and said something to the effect of "if you can't handle something small like hip pain, what makes you think you can make it through labor without an e |

LIKE RIGHT NOW THEY ARE KILLING ME I CAN BE SLEEPING ON BACK OR EITHER SIDE AND THEY STILL HURT. MY PELVIC BONES SCREEMS THOUGH. I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS WORSE.

Thanks for this super site. I am in week 26 and dealing with pretty serious hip pain. Its at its worst when I am on the bed (trying to get up or turn around) and when I am on the floor (doing prenatal Yoga). It actually started in week 10 (!) but was then only on one side. Now its on both sides. Not fun. I am from and live in Norway ! |

After searching the internet for information on hip pain during pregnancy, I finally came across your page. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone. However, it would be nice if there were some way to relieve the pain. Like many of the other women, I have hip pain especially during the night with the pain getting worse towards morning. Getting up to make the run to the bathroom is almost impossible! My mother is of Norwegian descent, so perhaps this is to blame. I have had the pain for about 3 weeks and have 5 weeks left before delivery. Thanks to everyone for writing on this problem and for creating a this page. Great Falls, Montana |

I'm 32 weeks into my first pregnancy and I've been having pain throughout the pelvic region, too. For me it is primarily between my legs (like the pain you get from riding a horse or bicycle for too long) but my hips are certainly not feeling too great, either. It's interesting to me that you say there seems to be a tendancy for Scandinavian women to experience this because although I'm American I have both Swedish and Norwegian ancestors on my mother's side of the family. I've heard that the pain is a result of the hormone relaxin allowing the bones to spread...maybe we're not making enough of this hormone to make the process comfortable, but the spreading is happening anyway? |

So it could be interesting that I suffer from this hip pain also. My mother also had this pain for months when she was expecting my brother. My pain seems to go when I keep still, but when I walk it's awful, slow small steps is the answer but it's getting me down so much. I hate not being able to move around like I did, how I miss walking without pain!! all the best Mandy |

Hi there! Boy am I glad I found this information about hip pain, I am 6 months pregnant and up until now have been very active. It came on last week and the doctor said that it would subside, it hasn't. I am now waiting for her to get an appointment for me at the hospital to see a physio. This is really making me miserable, just moving around is a job and a half. The doctor told me to keep moving around and do what I have been doing normally, but you must be joking!! It hurts too much and plenty of rest seems to do it more good, the more I do it seems to aggravate it. I was told the same thing about the hormnes loosening the ligaments and I was told to take 2 paracetamol 4 times a day to relieve it. I don't want to take anything while pregnant, but I was as such a loss last week I took 2 paracetamol and it did nothing! I am from the UK but I believe I am from a norse background, fair hair and my surname 'Storr' is aparantly Norwegion for 'lake' (just what I've been told). So it co |

Dear Katherine, I love your site and have found it very informative, thank you!

I was surprised to find that those with singletons are also experiencing the same problems and as much as I'm relieved, I feel for you all too!!!! I too am experiencing hip pain, especially at night when I lay on either side...they begin to ache!!!!! ointments, and massage don't seem to aid this and I have been avoiding pain relievers like Tylenol, just because I thought I should get my endurance up for the final hurrah!! I was teaching aerobics and on a weight training program when I found out that I was 7 weeks pregnant and I was really excited to see my pregnancy through as a healthy and active 31 year old first time mom-to- be, however within a week I went on bed rest for 3 months due to bleeding and extreme fatigue...this is the time I found ou |

I was very interested to come across your site particularly when I found a reference to hip pain during pregnancy. I am 15 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing terrible hip pain for about 3 weeks now. I find that it is most intense in the early hours of the morning after I have been asleeep for a number of hours and the pain actually wakes me. My doctor diagnosed Trochanteric Bursitis and recommended rest, avoidance of stairs and standing for long periods. I then visited my trusty chiropractor who performed some miracles with pressure and manipulation (very painful!) and I have felt some relief since then but there are still some nights when it is intense. He also recommended ice packs (no heat, which my Dr suggested (!), as it is already an inflamed area). By the way, I live in Melbourne, Australia. |

When I was pregnant with my son at age 20 I went through a spell of hip/pelvic pain, especially in the mornings. It lasted only a few weeks, but was miserable. Now I am pregnant with our second, and have had a terrible time with my hips and pelvic area. My muscles are so sore, and the more activity I take on, the worse it gets. Even with pillows, sleeping is sometimes difficult for the discomfort. It seems to get better as the day progresses as long as I take it easy, but even a few hours of housework seem to make it much worse. I now live in a two story house and have a three-year-old, so perhaps this change has had some affect. My doctor did warn me early on that it is more common to have more "round ligament pain" with each additional pregnancy. I have had discomfort in my hips before my pregnancies, particularly during the first crampy days of my mestrual cycle, but it has never been so painful as this. It feels like the joints could just pull apart, and it aches all acros |

Hi! I am a 29 year old female from the United States. I am 22 weeks pregnant and let me tell you- this pelvic pain and hip pain are not getting any better. The best way I can describe the pain is that my pelvic area and hips feel like I've been on a bicycle all day with a cement seat! Sleeping is rough. Some things that have helped are swimming in a warm swimming pool, sitting with a pillow behind my back and sleeping on my back with pillows under my neck, lower back and knees. |

I'm due the 24th of August but I had to stop working in April because of my hip pain. I could hardly get around the house. I went to see a chiropractor and it helped alot. Among other things he had me put ice on my back because the ligaments in my lower back were so swollen. I feel better now but I don't go shopping or do anything that requires walking.

Hi, Kathrine. I was checking out your page again. I just wanted to say
that the second baby just turned a year old, but I too still have hip
pain. If I sleep on one side too long, or sleep on a hard surface.
(Camping is murder). I know this all relates to pregnancy, because this
never happened before the kids. I had easy births with both of them,
even with the boy who was 8 pounds, and 5 ounces. The midwife said that
I should be grateful for those hips. I still enjoy your pages, so keep
at it. |

Wow, is it ever nice to know that I am not going crazy alone with this pain. My first pregnancy the pain was aweful from 4 months on and this preganacy it has been since 6 1/2 months. The worst time for me is when I want to sleep...I can't get comfortable...my husband says I cry and moan in my sleep and to turn over he has to help me...what a pathetic sight I am!! Good luck to everyone out there and if anyone has suggestions for the rlaxation of the joints from hormones then plase let me know. |

I found the information on hip pain very interesting. I am 41, Canadian and in my last week of my 3rd pregnancy. My first two children were girls and I did not suffer from any hip pain. I'm not sure if this one is a girl or boy, but from about 6 months I had hip pain, which would be especially sore through the night and wake me up. It was a real aching feeling that would only be relieved if I got up to walk. Hopefully it will be gone once the baby is born. I was wondering if the hip pain was because I'm older with this pregnancy, but from what I've read today, it affects all ages. Thanks for your site Kathrine, it was interesting. |

Hi. About hip-pains, I got them vhen I was 26 weeks with my first one, went to a physitoherapist, and started excersising a few days later with her in her group with women with hip-pains. Two weeks later I could put my cruthes away, and the pain was almost gone. I exersised with her 1 og 2 times a week until my boy waas born. when he was 8 weeks - I wnt back and trained with her until he was 6 months. Start exercising - do not lay down on your bed and feel sorry for your self, that will only make things worse. I am now 9 weeks pregnant, and feel some pain already, I will soon go back and start training again... Line |

I have three children ages 6, 4, and 2. During my first two pregnancies I did not suffer from hip pain. My third pregnancy is another story. I had pain in my right hip all the time. It was especially uncomfortable at night. I thought it was being caused by carrying my other two children around all the time. I never mentioned it to my doctor, as I am not one to complain about pain. During the delivery of Johanna, (my third), I was lying on my back to push. She started to come out with her hand against her head. The doctor wanted to try and push her arm back. To do so, he had the nurses pull my legs back as far and as high as they could. It was excruciatingly painful! It felt as though they had ripped my leg out of my hip socket. For at least the next six to seven months, my hip hurt constantly. I did even complain about to my poor husband, who actually got tired of the word "hip". And now two and a half years later, it still bothers me occassionaly, depending on |

I'm 6 months pregnant (to my 2nd child), and also experiencing severe hip pain. Getting out of bed to go to the bathroom is always a big struggle...one time the pain was so bad, I had to crawl to the bathroom. But unlike many of your guests, I am not from Scandinavian descent. I'm from the island of the Philippines, married to a Caucasian. Many of my friends and relatives told me they had similar experience, but only when they were pregnant with a baby boy. Could this be true? My first child is a girl and I did not have this problem. I had an amniocentices two months ago and the doctor told me I will have a boy. I just wish there could be more information on why these problem occurs and how can we (pregnant women) get relief. From: Nini Fremont,CA USA |
