But and or tailbone sore?

RedPeppahRedPeppah member
in 2nd Trimester
Within the last week I have had a sore butt. Similar to the feeling of a sore lower back, just in the butt (muscle part, not talking about butt-hole) to clarify. Yesterday my tailbone seemed to ache, but nothing at all today. I'm just assuming this is body preparing for the load of a baby, but has anyone else experienced one or both of these things?

    Sorry, still puzzled by the new layout... Butt not but. Where's the edit button? Sheesh.

    Yes I have felt like I bruised my butt since week 8! I thought I seriously fell or did something that I couldn't remember. But I seriously feel as if my tailbone is sore! I then thought that it was my chair at work but noticed it would happen if I was in the car or on the couch. It has gotten better in the last couple of weeks but I guess it's just a strange symptom...?

    Sounds like it may be pubic symphysis disorder. A good chiropractor can help tremendously!

    Mine mostly bothers me when I'm at work so I'm going to see about getting a different desk chair.  I try to get up and move around pretty often but sometimes that's easier said than done. 

    I'm too scared to go to a chiropractor so I'm looking for stretches and things I can do at home.  The idea of someone cracking my bones just freaks me out!  I won't even crack my knuckles!

    I have been having pain in my tailbone too.  I think it may be radiating from my SI joint.  I have always had issues with my SI joint even when not pregnant.  I haven't done anything to try to alleviate it, because it comes and goes.

    I wish I could blame mine on a chair, but I barely get a chance to sit down lately as I have a very active cleaning job. The one thing that feels good is to sit down. I just keep blaming it on my butt being too heavy :P

    I had about 4 weeks (weeks 23-26) of severe tailbone pain during my first pregnancy.  I'd previously injured my tailbone, and that coupled with SI joint issues, were the likely reasons for the pain.  I sat on a wedge cushion at work, with my tailbone hanging off the end to avoid putting extra pressure on it.  I also went to physio a couple of times, and the stretches the physiotherapy showed me for were a huge help.

    I had tailbone pain starting late second tri with my first pregnancy, and now I'm having it again with this pregnancy.  My doctor said that unfortunately it was a normal side effect of everything shifting around.  For me, it lasted until delivery last time around.  Hoping it goes away for you.

    I've been having the same pain the past few days! By the time I leave work at 2 (I sit most of the day), I'm really feeling it. I put a heating pad on it for a bit and lay on my side.

    Yep it's gonna hurt then get better then hurt again then you get lightning crotch . It's just things shifting and stretching to get ready for a bigger baby and delivery . Totally normal and sadly annoying

    My dr suggested alternating ice and heat. Plus recommended prenatal yoga at least 2x a week, no heavy lifting (this included groceries) and if have a desk job getting up at least 1x per hr. She is giving me a preganancy safe muscle relaxant (not sure I am sold on taking it though) and said if gets worse will start me on physical therapy.

    Sounds like sciatic nerve pain to me. I've had it since about week 4. Some days it's more tolerable than others. A heating pad helps, but I've had nothing make it completely go away.

    yes, but my pain was severe and I couldn't walk much of the time.   Went to see a physiotherapist, and it turns out the horomones cause your ligaments to get loose, well mine got so loose that my SI-Joint actually dislocated.   Now I wear a brace to bind my pelvis, which helps with the pain.  NOT COOL.
