Question: from last one week onwards i have pain on my left buttocks...during sleep i worried lot...what is the reason for this and say any home remedies please....

Answer: Hip pain during pregnancy is a common symptom that you may experience. This discomfort is most often felt late in pregnancy, specifically during the third trimester. This occurs because your body is preparing itself for labor. Soreness and pain are often felt the strongest on the side where the baby tends to lie in your uterus. Practicing exercises that strengthen both the back muscles, as well as, your abdominal muscles will likely reduce hip pain. 1. One exercise that may provide relief is elevating your hips above chest level while lying on your back for a couple of minutes. 2.Taking a warm bath or applying warm compresses to the area can reduce pain. As you get closer to your delivery date, make sure to sleep on your side and keep your legs and knees bent. place a pillow or blanket at the small of your back and sleep leaning against it. This will reduce pressure on the hip you are sleeping on.
