terrible hip pain when sleeping?

Does anyone else experience this? It my hip and my right buttock. I think its sciatica pain but oh my gosh. I thought laying down was suppose to be comfortable!! It actually wakes me up!! I guess the baby is sitting on a nerve or something!!

I had this and thought I would die. Didn't think it would go away but it actually did. It's a little tender now. There's hope, don't worry!

I have it. When I was propping my head up to help with heartburn, it got much worse b/c of all the pressure on my hips.

Yup, I have had this since the first few weeks I knew I was pregnant...dr said it was normal because of everything stretching to make room for the baby. Usually it goes away as soon as I change positions, but in the last few days it has been sticking around all day. (it hurts right now!!!) The hip pain is what makes it hard for me to sleep. Only on the right side though.

I get it too. Just one more thing on the list of things that keep my up at night and prevent me from sleeping.

I had this sooo bad. I would cry I was so tired and oculdnt stand it. The Pillows worked for me ( snoogle)...at least a little bit....

Re: terrible hip pain when sleeping?

I have this as well. I've always been a stomach sleeper and sleeping on my side is driving me crazy. I wake up sooo sore. Nothing seems to help. I got the big snoogle or whatever it's called and I hate it. I feel like I'm sleeping with a big boa constrictor.
