Hello my names sissy and I am 37weeks and 1day pregnant, Im having a lot of pain in my tailbone. It hurts for me to sit and it hurts even more to get up. I cant feel it staying still or laying down but it feels bruised but i seriously cant sit anymore because it hurts that bad. Is that normal?

Hi, I understand your concern. In late months of pregnancy, the ligaments around tail bone / pelvis as such get loosened due to pregnancy hormones( so as to facilitate fetal delivery by stretching of out let ). Vitamin D & calcium deficiency add to it. In such case supplementation of calcium/ vitamin D along with anti inflammatory pills as per need are given in such patient. - Use of donut shaped inflatable piles cushion seat can be used to avoid pressure on the tail bone till the time of child birth Thanks..
