I've been having back and hip pain and someone suggested to me to sleep with a pillow betweeen my legs on my side, and it definately helped!

Sleep on your side with pillow between your legs.

Also try spending some time each day on all fours rocking back and forth (might be LO is back to back and causing the ache). If the pain eases when you do this for a while keep doing it daily Also don't slouch, try to sit upright etc.

I would also mention it to your midwife, she may refer you for physio.
