tailbone???

Hello all, 16 weeks and after my shower i noticed my tailbone looked like it was sticking out further with a little puffiness around it maybe fluid? I have no clue no pain either. Anyone else out there in the same boat or have any suggestions or thoughts on the matter?

Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone!!! I also had a Dr. Apt today and he said its totally normal and that it can be good for labor later on. Some women dislocate their tailbone during delivery and having our tailbones already flexible and moving may lessen the chance of dislocation!
