The only thing I've ever found to help getting to sleep is a multitude of pillows. The pregnancy pillow wedged under the belly; another wedged under my back; two together, forming exactly the right height, under my head; the doona under my feet; and generally the cat joins in and braces against the back of my knees.
Astoundingly, there is still room in the bed for my DH after all this is arranged.
Less astoundingly, I generally no sooner get as close to comfy as I can when the baby starts what feels like the Intra-Uterine Soccer Championships and I have to move.
I hope you get some rest soon. :hugs:

I hope you're feeling a bit better. I'm the same, have had agonising hip pain since about 24 wks and have finally found a solution for me. I sleep on a slight angle (lying flat is agony) with pillows starting from under my bum/hips, one under my lower back and a comfy stack up to my shoulders. Also use a heat pack at night. I also went to a chiropractor last week and had a hip adjustment and she said everything was way way out of whack. Since doing the above its made a huge difference and been getting a much better nights sleep. Hope some or any of this works for you hun xoxo
