Coccyx (tailbone) pain
Hi,
I'm 16 wks and am really suffering from coccyx pain for the last few weeks.
Its especially bad when I'm sitting (at work) or getting up from a sitting position or getting out of bed.
Has anyone else had this and can recommend any way to relieve the pain? Do do-nut cushions work?
I'm really worried its just going to get worse and worse as the pregnancy progresses.
Thanks,

I have just started getting this pain, it came about 2 weeks ago and has stuck since, I assumed I have been sitting funny at my desk, didn't get chance to mention to midwife on Tuesday but am seeing consultant next wed so i'll mention it then and see what they say, I'm almost 36 weeks though so i hope yours isn't anything that will stick for the full pregnancy as I know it's very painful. Keep you posted

I visit a Chiropractor and went to see her and she manipulated my spine and touch wood I have not had any pain for the last 6wks.
It could be worth a visit to a Chiropractor as I know what the pain is like and it is unbearable. It was when I stand up from sitting I would have to brace myself as it was so painful. I use a donut cushion on my chair at work too.
Hope it eases for you

I couldn't find anything that helped with mine. Hope yours eases xx
I thought it was linked to constipation in early pregnancy but it hasn't gone away and I'm 20wks now.
My mw said it was normal and all to do with things shifting around, muscles stretching etc. But over last few weeks I've been getting more and more SPD symptoms so I'm starting to think that I've got that now. Seeing Dr in 2 weeks so will mention it again then. Suz x
It really is a constant pain when sitting down - can't bear the thought it may well be with me now for the whole pregnancy. It really feels like its bruised - but its not.
Will talk to my midwife - seeing her on the 20th.
Thanks again x
