I am 37 weeks pregnant nearly. I got bad tailbone pain from last night and it hurts so much. Whenever I sit down then stand up it hurts so much. I had 2 hours sleep if that last night because every time I moved.
Has anyone experienced this? Should I contact my midwife.
I had tailbone pain in my 3rd trimester. When pregnant you can self refer for physio and you get fast tracked. It might not be quick enough if you're 37 weeks already though.
It is completely normal from the pressure of your uterus and baby on your pelvic structure. I know how uncomfortable it is but it will go when you give birth. Take some paracetamol and invest in a coccyx cushion to make sitting a bit easier.
@Sophie thank you so much! Honestly I am in agony with it lol!
