A member asked:

Can a pillow between my legs help my insomnia?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Part of what keeps you up at night is the joint pain. During pregnancy your joints all are loosened from hormones. The hips can be especially effected. A pillow between the knees can help relieve the joint stress.
