Started right back up in the first trimester with this baby and keeps getting worse. I did have a break from it for about two weeks when one night I got up when my son was crying, and I felt and heard my hips pop. It felt so good!

But it all came back. Everything I’ve been able to find online suggests a hip issue, but my OB can’t come up with anything. She just says she’s never had a patient with this problem before. They’re soooo useful at times. I’m hoping to change OBs with the new insurance from hubby’s new job, and that may get me a more sympathetic ear too.

The reason I ask is because I have a lot of problems with hip pain, and years ago was able to finally figure out why – the problem is actually my LEFT hip being out, which pulls the right hip out of place (too far in) causing pain in the right hip. Adjustments from a physical therapist helped with the issue for a while, but he told me then that it’s a very common issue for women, especially if you are slender in build, and that even stepping off a curb wrong/too hard can trigger a “relapse”, so to speak. With my daughter my ligaments actually loosened up so that it was the best I’d ever been, but with my son the first two trimesters were a bear…luckily the third trimester things loosened back up.

Just a thought – a good PT should be able to do a safe adjustment (it’s all legs and hips, nothing with your abdomen or back) that might help you a little if you’re dealing with the same issue I have.

Good luck!!!
