Tailbone Pain
Hello. I'm about 8 weeks++ and I've been having pain in the tailbone. Can't bend down to reach for something. Anyone else feeling this way?
Tail bone pain is common during pregnancy. It's because of pregnancy hormones causing the ligaments to loosen and relax. Here is a simple stretching exercise which might help you: 1. Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, approximately hip-width apart. Keep your arms straight alongside your body. 2. As you inhale, curl your pelvis until your lower back is gently pressing against the floor and the movement flows into you, lifting your hips. Hold here, with your hips above chest level for a few counts. 3. As you exhale, gently roll your spine back onto the ground, one vertebra at a time. As you relax preparing for the next lift, be sure your spine is neutral (meaning your lower back will be slightly off the ground, respecting the natural curve of your lumbar spine). Repeat 10 times.
