Well, she just said maybe it will get better soon as the baby comes off the pelvis more. I hope so, not worse.
Good luck - hope you get a conclusive answer!
I'm going to tell the Dr on Tues at my appt. I've heard of people fracturing it even while giving birth. Boy, would that hurt. It started to get worse again today. It hadn't been as bad during the week. It gets so I can hardly get up and down, even hurts when walking. Once you get seated, past the initial pain its not as bad. Funny how some of us didn't get it the first pregnancy. Makes a person wonder if maybe something happened during that to affect us. Or maybe its just the way the baby is positioned this time. Thanks for the comments and advice!
I've had problems with that through all 3 of my pregnancies, but I had injured my tail bone on a few different occasions in the past. The pregnancies just seemed to aggravate it all over again. I wouldn't be able to sit for long periods of time and it would sometimes lead to some tingling or even numbness in one or both of my legs.
I'd get it checked. I never had an injury but with my second pregnancy (third trimester) I had chronic pain in my coxic (spell??) and by the end I couldn't sit for more than like ten minutes at a time and then it was near impossible to stand up. I never had it with my first either. My OB told me (from what I remember - 8 yrs ago) that it was likely due to hormones that are released later in pregnancy in preparation for giving birth which allow your ligaments to relax and help your pelvis to widen whilst giving birth- in my case too much. It can happen earlier. I've been really hoping I don't get it again this time. All I'm really saying is I can relate to how you are feeling! Given you have a previous injury this my be aggravating the problem more so. Avoid hard chairs and BYO cushion everywhere!! If in doubt, it persists or gets worse ask your doc:-)
I have tailbone pain after giving birth. It lasts for a few weeks, but nothing while pregnant. Sounds like you may have aggravated an old injury.
