Tailbone pain?

Question

Hey ladies!  First pregnancy here.  We're all nearing the end. .. bittersweet ;) anyway, wondering if anyone else is feeling or ever has felt tailbone pain?  Mine,  i felt it pop, hopefully not out of place but they cant do an xray. And they wanted me on narcotics... no friggin way! Any suggestions for relief?

Answer

I'm 35 weeks and having the same pain. Sometimes I use a heating pad, but mainly try and lay in bed because it hurts too bad to sit. I just keep telling myself to "hang in there, 5 more weeks to go". Sorry I know that doesn't help 😓

Answer

iv had terrible tailbone pain since week 25,im now in week 32.what works for me to not sit on my bottom for a long time,not sit on hard surfaces...always lay down on my side to relieve pressure off of my tailbone n a doughnut pillow to sit on during a long drive.oh n yes,not bending over or pushing myself too much doing cleaning specially vacuuming.

Answer

Yes I have a suggestion! I started getting increasingly worse tailbone pain around 32 weeks, and it was getting really bad. I have a desk job. By 34 weeks, I couldn't even sit in our comfortable car front seat for more than a few seconds without discomfort. It felt like I had a bruised tailbone, it hurt to walk, sit, stand, sleep.. Everything hurt and everything seemed to make it worse.

But...

I started bringing a super thick, super comfortable memory foam pillow to work and sitting on that, it has saved me!! I also try to get up every 20-30 mins to stretch or stand. 
I'm 36 weeks now and my tailbone feels great!! The only time I feel discomfort is when I do long drives or lots of sitting without my pillow.

I still feel like a big pregnant lady and feel uncomfortable trying to bend over, or get up, or do most normal movements, but it's all totally bearable. The worst thing now is that it feels like my ribs are being pushed out by him sometimes.

Answer

Yes I have tailbone pain and it hurts to sit. Especially in hard chairs! I just deal with it and it should feel
Better once the baby is born...well it took a while for mine to feel better with my first baby. But it eventually did.

Answer

Stretching, flexice packs (30 min on, 30 off), resting. I've had bad tailbone pain since about 25 weeks (I'm 34 now). The flexice packs have literally saved my life.
