This tailbone pain is killing me yaar, especially when i sit for long or try to get up from bed. Im in my 7th month and it has started recently. Any sitting tips or anything that gave you relief?
Oh god this pain, I felt like I couldnt sit properly for weeks in my third trimester. A U shaped cushion was a lifesaver for me, sitting straight on hard chairs was the worst.
I kept worrying something was wrong but doc said tailbone pain is super common as baby grows and pelvis loosens. Warm bag and the cushion calmed mine. Still I felt better once doctor confirmed it was normal.
Donut cushion, warm compress and not sleeping flat on your back, side sleeping with pillow between knees. Worked both times for me. If the pain is sharp or shooting down your leg though, get it checked.
My mother in law suggested warm oil massage on the lower back which felt nice and relaxing. Apart from that good cushion and posture. If it becomes very severe please mention to your gynac na.
My physio gave me some gentle pelvic stretches and cat cow, but only after my doctor okayed it. Helped quite a bit. Dont sit for hours at a stretch, keep changing position.
