Lower back pain

Hi ladies, 

Im 6w 5days pregnant with baby number two and have been having dull, chronic pain in my tailbone for the last few days. When I sit it feels like there's a huge bruise there and the discomfort doesn't go away at any point. I'm thinking my uterus might be hitting a nerve, or my body might be shifting around. Has anyone encountered this yet? Should I be concerned? Any stretch recommendations?

    I think it's normal to feel this in the beginning. I'm having hip pain already :(  I would try child's pose, that always help me stretch my out nicely.

    I haven't had that with pregnancy, but I have had a pilodinal cyst that caused pain like that before. TMI: Is the skin at the top of your butt crack super sensitive? If so, that might be the cause and your doctor can take care of it, though healing is intensive. I thought I had fractured my tailbone (as a reference for the pain) or it felt like a really deep bruise. I hope that it's not what that is, but I've helped friends figure out they have one with descriptions similar to yours (minus the pregnancy). Good luck and let us know!

    My tail bone doesn't feel bruised, BUT the same ache I had in my lower back with DS has already made a comeback

    Call your OB. It may be worth going in for an early scan for peace of mind. Meanwhile, Tylenol.

    I've had chronic lower back pain since I had my BFP. I try to sleep with a body pillow to support my lower back and then stretch in a few yoga positions when I wake up (cat, cow, child's pose). The doctor said more than likely it will worsen if you had back pain pre-pregnancy (I've had back spasms since I was 16). She also recommended I look into prenatal yoga or physical therapy depending on the level of pain.
