Pillow or wedge for under hip when sleeping

Hi,

Anyone got recommendations for any pillow or wedge for underneath your hip when sleeping? My left hip is agony and I can't lie on it for long at all, I'm tossing and turning all night, looking for anything that will help with the pain. I go to an osteopath already, have a regular pregnancy pillow, sleep on either a tempura mattress or a bed with a thick memory foam topper on it so I'm unsure if there is anything really, we got the mattress topper during my first pregnancy and it helped til about now so I'm not holding my breath but if you got any miracle product please recommend it to me 🙏 just desperate for some decent sleep at this point

Physio told me to just put normal pillow between legs and maybe second one down to feet to keep the legs/hips aligned. Also said not to use a pregnancy pillow and makes you hunch forwards but can use a thin one under bump if needed and almost hug another to keep shoulder aligned x

Also use a massager thing in the day time at times to help tighten the muscles in the area. I got one for less than a tenner on Amazon. And to use heat whether baths or sit on a heat pad or heated blanket to loosen muscles. Had pelvic pain both pregnancies but managing it better this time. Bit of paracetamol if needed too x

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
