Hip pain help

So for a few weeks I’ve struggled with hip pain when laying on my left, I solved it by sleeping on my right which the midwife said was fine.
However my hip pain is now in both hips of a night time and I sleep the whole night uncomfortably swapping sides. It’s almost in my hips and at the top of my thighs as well? I’ve circled where I get it in this photo 😂😂
I have a pregnancy pillow and a memory foam mattress topper already- Any other hints or tips you guys would recommend to help? Or at 28 weeks am I now just in for terrible sleep for the next 12 weeks? 😂😂😂

Ask to see a physio. I’ve had pelvic girdle pain and she gave me useful exercises and stuff to help it. Maybe you’re daily activities are effecting it? For me I reduced my walking exercise and incorporated more swimming so by the end of the day it didn’t hurt.

Agree to see a physio - my pelvis was out of line and since levelling up has massively helped! Also saw a pregnancy pillow this AM that allows you sleep on your front, in case that’s a preference! Pricey but surely sleep is worth anything at this stage 😅

I get this too, going to speak to midwife this week. I’ve been sleeping in a slightly upright position so not flat on my back which kind of helps.

Do you sleep with a pillow between your legs? That’s made a big difference to me.

I've put a duvet under my sheet and that's helped x

I get this every night and I find supporting the bump by putting a pillow under it really helps

Try a pillow between your thighs to ease some of the pressure. I'm 24 weeks and suffering with this atm too 😪 xx

Heart murmur

Took my 4 month old to the GP yesterday for something unrelated and when checking him over they heard a heart murmur. That didn’t say too much and scheduled another GP appointment for next week. Just wondering if any other mummas babies have had one and what their journeys were/if baby just grew out of it. Thank you x

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Burnout

I have the odd day (like today) where I feel completely wiped out, without energy, physical especially, even if I had we good night sleep. I try entertaining baby as much as I normally do but it's a lot! Don't know if it's burnout or what.. will mention to gp in case I have some deficiency but again it's not everyday. Baby is only 4 months, am I too old?? And we'd like another at some point 🙈 don't know how mums of multiples do it

Happy 3 months to my baby girl

Dec 26 baby. Can’t believe how fast they are all are growing 1 month to 3 what a difference. I love watching her grow. Any other baby’s born Dec 26?

First time leaving the house with newborn

Has anybody managed to step outside since the baby arrived? We were considering starting super local, 10 min by car to somewhere where we can go on a pram walk or cafe. But we were wondering if this is safe, given the baby has no vaccines yet. What’s everyone doing?

Reduced movements

Baby hadn’t moved for about 2 hours (that I can be sure of) but has now got hiccups and moving slightly again. Should I still go to triage or is that enough for things to be ok?
