It's awful to sit down.

TMI just FYI. The top of my rear in between my crack is horribly sore. It hurts a lot to sit down and stand up. Trying to roll over in bed is almost agony. It feels better if I spread my legs while I'm on my knees. I don't think it is hemorrhoids. It doesn't hurt down any further or when I use the restroom. It almost feels like my tail bone or the muscles. Any ideas or suggestions?

It's your tailbone. It started for me at 20 weeks. It's now broken and still hurtS and my son is 1 and a half. You can get a pillow with that area cut out that helps a lot. Stay off it or on cushions as much as possible it will help. No hard surfaces.

Most definitely your tail bone its normal ive had it most of my pregnancy its excruciating pain i feel you. When the baby becomes heavyer its putting pressure on your tail bone and lower back bones. If your on your feet alot its worse. I always found it hurts more when i lay straight on my back. If its not that it could be a possible cyst as well thats common for people to get in that exact area. If you want to make sure ask your doctor your best bet.

May be hemorrhoids if not, pressure from your uterus... I'm 27 weeks and experience pressure in my bum crack lol I don't have hems
