What was that pain?

[Emma58]

I woke up this morning and my hip was aching from being laid on the same side for most of the night.
When I touched just inside my hip it hurt from there right into my groin. It doesn't hurt to touch now, it almost felt like I had a cramp in my hip and the pain travelled into my groin (can you get a cramp there?)
The pain was awful it made me feel sick and I couldn't move.

Any ideas anyone?

The sickly pain I got seems to have gone, but it is still really sore and achy still. It was horrible I'm wondering If I could have trapped a nerve or something?

I don't want that again it really bloody hurt I couldn't move or speak

Not sure if its the same thing, as I've never checked to see if mine hurts when I touch it...

But I regularly get cramps in my hips from laying too long on one side. Sometimes every hour or so. Its bloody painful. No wonder I can't sleep.

Can't remember if you have SPD or not? (I do) But it may be linked to that.

Yes I'm a member of the SPD club wasn't sure that would be that painful though.
Funnily enough about 5mins before I got the pain in my hip and groin I had cramp in my leg (on the same side) wonder if it was cramp in my hip then.

It's still really sore don't know what it is but it's not pleasant.
It doesn't seem to hurt when i touch it now like it did this morning.

could it be the baby engaging ? you know pushing on nerves as it pushes down?

do you sleep with plenty of pillows under your bump and hips, this seems to help me?

I wonder
It could well be, I thought last night his head was going to pop out he was pushing down so much. Maybe he has engaged further.

Emma - I've definitely had this. I just posted another threat about this. Hopefully, others can give tips how they manage to sleep on the left side.

Tbh I find it the most comfortable to sleep on my back, which I naturally try to avoid but the pressure on my hips is just getting to me.

Let's hope that this is a good sign and that the labour is getting closer... Hope your last night was a little better!
