Tailbone pain while pregnant?

Question

I'm 29wks and about 3 or so days ago my tailbone really started hurting. Its everytime I sit down or stand up. This is my first pregnancy. I was just wondering if this is common.

Answer

Could also be pelvic joint pain/your sacroiliac joint, which is what I have. Basically It’s the hormone relaxin causing the ligaments in the pelvic to relax in preparation for birth. 
I never experienced it radiating down into my leg, but to the right side of my tailbone.
I could barely walk for three weeks over Christmas...my OB recommended a prenatal massage and it worked wonders. Good luck to you, hopefully you find some relief soon!

Answer

Very common to have tailbone pain in pregnancy even though it sucks

Answer

Is it sciatica? Is it pain that goes in either buttcheek/leg aswell? I get it AWFUL.

Answer

I’m 22 weeks and my tailbone has been hurting already for the past 3 weeks. Especially when I go to sit down

Answer

This happens to me when I sleep. Or at least try to sleep. I’m 28 weeks 5 days and I wake up in pain from my tailbone. I just assume it’s the weight of the baby and everything growing rapidly this last trimester.
