One of my aquaintances, a vetern mom-of-two, told me a few months back that third trimester sleep discomfort actually serves the purpose of acclimating one's body to the sleep deprivation of having a newborn in the home … She's far too practical a person! I only mention this because I've become a whole lot bigger lately, and it seems that the extra weight is to blame for the sore hips (whichever one I've been laying on all night) that I wake up with each morning. Since last week I've also been experiencing some discomfort in my sacrum, and the frustrating thing was that the lower-back yoga work I was doing wasn't helping a bit! I *heart* my pre-natal yoga instructor - she suggested poses with external rotation, like Warrior II, and I've noticed a difference! Needless to say, I registered in pre-natal yoga for another twelve weeks …
That is awesome you found something that has worked!! I wish I could have registered for prenatal yoga but it was too far of a travel for me at the time. Maybe next one!!
