Coccyx Bone

Hi All,

This maybe a strange question, but has anyone else experienced a sore coccyx bone and pain when sitting? I'm 14 weeks and have been experiencing this pain for a week. Is this normal?

Thanks
A

    Yep, haven't found anything that helps much other than sitting with a soft cushion.

    Yes, this started for me around 18 weeks. I try to get up often and walk around, or change positions in my chair. If it gets really bad I might consider getting one of those donut cushions!

    Omg, yes! I thought I sprained my butt somehow at first because it started around 8 weeks for me! I have to sit on a pillow at work and it even bothers me if I'm in the car. What an annoying symptom but I'm glad I'm not the only one

    Thanks for sharing ladies. I'm so glad to know this is normal, as much as it sucks.

    OMG YES! It comes and goes but is super annoying. I have found that kind of lunging when I walk seems to help. It looks totally ridiculous and DH forbids it in public but it works for me :-)

    I sneezed this morning and felt a pop in mine.  Now it hurts to sit or get up. Ugh.

    Yes. It's worse when I'm in the motion of standing up or sitting down. I fractured my coccyx and my sacrum last summer, and it feels very similar.

    I had horrible coccyx pain for about 3-4 weeks during 2nd tri with DD.  I went for physiotherapy assessment and treatment; the stretches the PT showed me helped the pain tremendously (SI joint issues).  I also sat on a wedge cushion with my tailbone just hanging off the edge of it to avoid putting additional pressure, and that made a big difference, too.
