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?

Yes, tailbone pain is commonly heard during pregnancy, though usually more in the later weeks. Those who have a history of back problems or who are overweight may experience more discomfort earlier on in the pregnancy. Try to avoid sitting on hard surfaces for long periods of time. A heating pad or a warm soak in the tub may provide some relief. You might also benefit from a maternity support belt which will help lessen the weight directly on the pelvic bones and muscles.
