tailbone pain?

Jennal123

Is anyone having pain in their tailbone? I have only put on one pound but find it really painful by the end of the day. Anyone know what to do about this?

Stretching helps me. Look up stretches that relieve lower back pain and do them every morning and night. My tailbone only hurts when I sit too long. Hang in there mama!

Yes! Some days it's worse than others but I always notice it more when I've been sitting for a while then stand up

If I've been sitting or walking too much mine hurts too. I really need to look into some stretches

Mine started with DS#1 and then went away after birth. It cropped back up with #2 and I still struggle with it now with #3. Definitely stretching and massaging the area helps, but I also do yoga several times a week and I also see a chiropractor which I think helps even more. Definitely find a chiropractor that specializes in working with pregnancy. I can't recommend them enough. I also got one of those sitting donuts (you can get them from a pharmacy or medical supply store) to sit on and relieve some of the pressure if you're going to be sitting for a long period of time. Good luck!

I have this too. It seems random to me. It gets so bad that I can't sit. Boo. I didn't have this the first time around.

Yes it's so painful . I talked with my 2 friend who are PT last night and bith said the joints between our tail bone , muscles , and ligaments are all moving and stretching making room for baby. Thanks to the horman relaxin ? ( I think that's how you spell it ) he said the best thing is kegals , chair squats , and some bridges if done correctly .
Hope this helps !

I was just thinking of posting this! My bum hurts so bad I can't sit on anything that's not super comfy (my couch is the only thing so far). I figured it had to do with all th moving of bones and stuff but I'm hoping that it doesn't last too long

I had it really badly and I realized it was mostly from the lack of support on my couch. When i started using normal chairs with decent back support it went away almost entirely! my couch sort of reclines back...

Mine hurts off and on too. My chiropractor said it might be because of my constipation. Probiotics are a life saver for that!

I had this with DD the entire 2nd and 3rd trimesters and it turned out I was carrying her very low. It hurt to sit down period.

Yep, it has gotten worse with each pregnancy. My PT said is also related to weak pelvic floor and poor core strength. As things relax and the weight of baby grows we clench muscles in the bum etc causing the tightness and pain. Stretching helps but you might want to see a PT if you can.

Mine too! I bruised mine when I was 12 and I've had problems ever since then. I notice it mostly at work. I work front desk at a salon and we have stools with no backs. My posture is so bad at work and I know that's why I hurt most of the time!

I had tail bone pain about 2 weeks ago.. It has since stopped but I became way more active!! It'll pass

Omg!!! I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one. I am a file clerk so most of my work day is spent sitting in a really uncomfortable chair. I'm the low woman on the todampole so to speak so I don't have a good chair. Would it be wrong to pull the pregnancy card and ask for a better one? Lol sometimes the pain is so bad I come home crying.

@Pepperscott Have you tried a pillow behind you. My doctor suggested this to me but I can't because the stools we have at work don't have backs. They also make gel seat cushions that are really nice.

@Pepperscott I would so pull that card!!! If you are in that much pain it isn't fair to you.
