Also belly bands are my best friend. I'm still wearing pre-prego jeans comfortably. And I get to walk around with my pants unbuttoned. Aaaaall daaaaay.
OMG BEST IDEA. I didn't even know what a belly band actually was until this post. And then it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how it worked. I found a pattern to make them online YAY
I'm so relieved. That isn't the best picture, but the ultrasound lady seemed irritated and I was just in awe, so I didn't ask for more, but there was a frame where could see my button's hands, head, and I could even see his heart fluttering like electricity. It was so cool. I'm so relieved now that we got a strong, healthy heartbeat.
Anyone have good tips to relieve hip pain? My hips have been sore on and off since before I even knew I was pregnant (one of my first symptoms, I thought I had the flu), but last night it was really bad (woke me up) and now they're hurting again. Warm baths help but I don't always have time to do that in the middle of the day.

Sciatic nerve pain was always my very first sign of pregnancy. It freaks me out when I get it now since we are done! lol I never really found anything to help, and mine would come for a few weeks and then go away for a few months, then come back for a few weeks. I hope you feel better soon!
Yeah, I do yoga pretty regularly and do a lot of hip stretches, but recently if I stretch for long or more intensely I start to get cramps and my ob gyn said to stop if that happens It helps WHILE I'm actually stretching but once I stop the pain returns.
I haven't found anything that completely takes away the hip pain. I manage it with chiro and massage. Epsom salt baths and good posture help a bit. Sitting on an exercise ball and later on when you get bigger the support belts are awesome.
Taking a magnesium supplement might help with the cramping - also where the epsom salts come in as you absorb the mag. through your skin. I was starting to get leg cramps at night and they all but went away when I started a calcium/Mag/D3 supplement every day.
