Pressure on tailbone?

[Sazeby]

I'm 39 weeks 4 days pregnant and today i've had a really sore tailbone it's a dull aching and isn't going away does anyone have this or know what this could be?
Is it just bub putting pressure on it?
It feels like i need to go to the toilet but i don't sorry TMI

Oh gosh, I've had this since 23 or so weeks... so I sure hope it's nothing too bad :o

I did find some relief by sitting on a chair, knees apart and rocking myself forward till my whole belly was hanging over the space (ie. nothing pressing down).

Hope it's as simple as that for you!

Hi I've got it too and I'm 26 weeks. My physio said it's the ligaments streaching and inflaming and recomended i sit on a donut or half inflated travel neck pillow. Not to much though or can cause piles. Though your 39 weeks so might be something else. good luck:)

I did some damage to my tailbone when I wasn't pregnant. My physio told me to get a wedge shaped cushion with a half circle cut out at the thick end in the centre. Sitting on this takes the weight off my tailbone and helps it heal.

Tell ur doc too, cos they can refer you to a physio if the pain continues after birth.
