Aching legs at night

I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant but I’m finding it so difficult to sleep at night as when I lay on my side my hips / legs start to ache. Has anyone else had this?

That’s so weird you say this! I have just been speaking to my husband about this, I have exact same! Hips are killing me!

@Katy how many weeks are you too? I don’t know if baby is laying on a nerve but it’s so uncomfortable no matter what side I sleep

Yes! I'm 16 weeks and sleep at the moment is a struggle. Lay on my left and my hip/ waist just gets achy and sore. But I also find it difficult to get comfy sat in the sofa hoping it don't last long.

Also 17 weeks!

I have this too. I had it during my last pregnancy too and it only gets worse the further on you get 😩 I think you need to put a cushion between your knees when sleeping and this is supposed to alleviate the discomfort. Will have to give it a try! X

It’s reassuring that others have it too, I’ve tried the pillow between the knees and it’s just not helping 😩

Primarily my left hip/pelvic area especially around the inner part where your thigh is connected. I've had terrible sleep again so I'm off swimming for an hour today. Had this since about 15 weeks, currently 18 weeks.

I have this as well, very uncomfortable! I’m 15 weeks and I’ve had it for a few weeks already, I think it’s very normal if that helps you feel better about it but it’s not nice! x

I keep getting leg cramps at night. 17 weeks also! However yesterday I did go for a walk and do lots of stretching so it wasn’t bad last night. Previous nights it would wake me up. Try a pillow at your feet to keep them slightly elevated. Might help

I’ve had this since 13 weeks and I still have it I contacted my doctor and I’ve been referred for physio so I’m hoping that it works as I hardly sleep due to the pain
