Lower back pain

in 2nd Trimester
It started out as my tailbone being super sore so I just put a cushion down when I sat on hard surfaces and kinda massaged it the best I could and I figured it was cause I was driving 6 hours every weekend but now on my lower right side its an awful stabbing being added to my tailbone pain. I've tried a heating pad, sleeping with a pillow in between my legs and stretching a little bit but it seems like its only getting worse. Is there anything else you can recommend for those who have gone through it?

    I've had back pain as well but am pretty sure it's from wrapping too many Christmas gifts ;)  Driving 6 hours every weekend?!  Yikes!  Have you tried a body pillow yet?  This and switching to flat shoes helped me quite a bit.

    Well 3 hours to sandusky and 3 hours back home 4 days later. Yes I have and still no luck! I'll have to keep the shoes in mind because I wear my uggs everywhere.

    You can try alternating ice and heat too and just keep doing what you're doing. Could try a chiropractor, I agree the driving is probably aggravating the situation.

    Look at your position when you drive...left leg is in a normal position and right leg is extended to get the pedals. Going that long in the car aggravates it and so does poor posture and sleeping in an odd position. Mine is the sciatic nerve that gets pinched and it's the worst when I drive a long ways or if I just tweak it somehow, sometimes without even knowing it. I've had trouble walking the last few days because of it and that was just from sleeping on it weird or something. Ice and heat and stretching out. Also the comfy/flat shoes help too. Do cat stretches, yoga child's pose and/or normal stretches to try to loosen your back up. Good luck.
