Pain in tailbone

Hi! Any mummies experiencing pain at your tailbone area during first trimester? I’m just about 6-7 weeks in and recently felt the pain. Hurts when I’m changing clothes (standing on one feet)…

Hi mummy, yes I had this in first trimester, felt like a pain deep inside near tailbone and tend to be more on one side, hurt especially when I sneeze or cough or standing up from seated. Checked with my gynae and she said it's normal as body is growing to make room for baby. Mine went away after few weeks by itself!

Me too! I'm 7 weeks now and I've been feeling this tailbone pain since maybe around 2-3weeks pregnant. Which got me to think if this was an injury I got before pregnancy. But it comes and goes, and hurts when I'm on my feet too much (because of work). It's a sharp shooting pain on one side of the base of the tailbone that comes and goes. Really hope this will go away with rest and doesn't affect labour 😔 I am worried.

I’m about 5-6 weeks in and started having lower back pain! I’ve injured my tailbone and sprained my back before so I’m quite worried that the pain will continue for a long time.

Yup I had it until week 8.
