Had this issue years back and it healed, but now in my second trimester theres that same painful lump coming back near the tailbone. Wondering if all the sitting and weight is bringing it up again. Anyone faced this during pregnancy?
Pregnancy itself doesnt directly cause it but sitting a lot and the extra weight can aggravate one. I would really suggest getting it looked at by a doctor, especially if it is painful or swollen. Dont try to manage it at home.
My doctor explained these are linked to the area and pressure, and pregnancy can make existing ones flare due to sitting and weight. She said keep it clean and dry and let them assess if there is any infection. Please get it checked rather than guessing.
Beta if there is any pain or swelling there, please dont ignore it or poke at it. Show it to your doctor, they will guide you on what is safe during pregnancy. No need to worry, just get it seen.
