I have had tailbone pain for literally this entire pregnancy. (Ok, well it started around the 3 month mark). It's never gone away. I sit on a pillow that's similar to a donut pillow at work. It also gets very uncomfortable to sit certain ways on the couch or even in bed. Be glad you are just NOW getting this and haven't had it for the past 6 months!!
YES! It started Sunday afternoon. I've tried sitting on the heating pad for a few minutes and that helps until I stand up. I tried sitting on the birthing ball too, but I feel like there's more pressure on my pelvis which isn't supposed to happen. I don't think LO has dropped yet so I'm sure it will only get more painful. BOO! lol
I've had this problem during my entire pregnancy! Sitting on a donut pillow helps slightly but I find getting up and walking every half hour helps. This has been something very difficult to deal with during the pregnancy!
I'm lurking from the September board, but I have had this for about 3 weeks now. This may be TMI, but I think I have a pilonidal cyst. It is right at the top part of my crack (sorry!). It actually "popped" yesterday and I have been sitting pretty ever since

Yes! I have have tail bone pain for months.. I'll be sitting and it may or may not hurt, but as soon as I stand up - the pain is terrible and becomes more than just my tail bone but my pelvis in the back too! Walking is nearly impossible. This has also happened in the middle of the night - which is the worst - especially when you're trying to move quickly to the bathroom or something. It feels better to sit on a big ball or to squat down as far and long as I can.
