Is it too early for this? My tailbone is killing me?

Question

I am 14.5 weeks and my tailbone is killing me. Sitting anywhere besides our sofa and my car makes it excruciating to get up. Is it too early to have this type of discomfort? My doctor says that its normal because everything is shifting around, but gosh - I have 6 more months to go. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

its normal, but it wont last. I had terrible back pain in my first trimesater, my growing uterus was aggrivating a pre-exsisting problem. When your uterus lifts out of your pelvis (which is soon, for you!), the pressure will lessen and the pain will get relief.

Answer 2

I`ll be 14 weeks tomorrow and have had this for 2 weeks now. My doctor told me it is normal also, your ligaments are all loose and your insides are shifting all over so there will be alot of pressure on your tail bone when your sitting... take two tylenols every 4 hours, thats what my doc tells me =]

Answer 3

That pain in the butt is normal. I had it starting around 11 weeks and then it went away about two weeks later. A woman in my office who's eight weeks ahead of me in pregnancy says that it comes and goes.

Answer 4

I think they sell those DONUTS looking cushion at the pharmacy or walgreens. Try buying those and sititng on it. It helps. I bought that after I gave birth because i was in a lot of pain.

Answer 5

Get a soft cusion, made of that visco elastic stuff( temper pedic type material) would be best.

Answer 6

it's normal and does get worse sorry to tell you this. but after the baby is here you'll forget all about the pains.

Answer 7
