Ay, hip pain sa late pregnancy is sooo common! At 36+ weeks, your body is really loosening up para sa delivery, kaya very possible na ito na, pero hindi guaranteed na sign of active labor agad, a few of us moms experienced hip ache for weeks before actual labor pa. The best move is to check with your OB to make sure it's just the hormones and baby's position and nothing else, especially since you're already so close to term! In the meantime, try pelvic stretches, walk around, or use a maternity pillow para sa support, pero definitely mention it sa doctor mo sa next checkup or if the pain gets really intense.
