Hip pain 😣

Please suggest some pain relieving techniques for hip pain. I have developed right hip pain and now started to have pain in my left hip too. Difficulty with walking and getting in and out of bed at night. Started with stretches but not helping. Midwife suggested Physio but moving hips making it more painful, waiting for the appt. Currently using warm compress / hot water bag.
Any other suggestions?????

I’ve been using hot compress etc to help as well when it gets tough. I will say, I notice a difference throughout the night if I don’t wedge a pillow between my legs to keep the alignment of my hips as it gets worse without.I find the pregnancy pillows are just a bit low, but a full pillow helps.

I’ve been having physio as well and there isn’t much they’ve been able to offer other than massaging it out, which still helps for a bit and then some ball stretches. They’ve kinda just said it’s one of those things that’ll resolve after birth 😔

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
