Muscle and skeletal discomfort involving the hips, pelvis, and lower back are very common pregnancy concerns. Almost 75% of pregnant women experience this type of pain at some point in their pregnancy.  

The causes of these ailments are due to a combination of factors. These include pressure from the enlarged uterus, weight gain during pregnancy, change in the center of gravity affecting balance and poor posturing, and probably the most significant is the production of a hormone called relaxin. This hormone is produced throughout the entire pregnancy and causes loosening and stretching of ligaments and tendons. Although helpful during labor to accommodate the baby passing through the birth canal, relaxin causes laxity where stability is needed during the pregnancy. These ligaments and tendons are what support the pelvic bones, the hip joints, and the lower back. When there is added strain from pregnancy compounded by less natural support due to relaxin, the result is increased stress across these joints leading to pain and discomfort.  

It is recommended that a pregnant woman sleep on her side to maximize blood flow to the baby and to minimize stress on her heart and lungs. This sleeping position puts added strain on the pelvic joints making for an uncomfortable and restless night's sleep. The few treatment options that are available are either minimally effective because they do not treat the underlying cause or are  considered unsafe during pregnancy. What is needed is better support while sleeping. HIP HELP HOORAY™ gives that much-needed support.
