A doctor has provided 1 answer

PG/A pain in the ass: Late stage pregnancy can be a "pain in the "hip" as the engaged fetal part (head or bottom) is now putting pressure deep in the pelvis on the nerves that run to the hip. Moreover, the cartilage interconnections between the joints of the pelvic/sacral bones are "stretching" to allow facilitated childbirth at term. Try a heating pad and if "flexible" yoga moves designed for pregnant women for relief
