Tailbone pain? 16 weeks.

Yooo this “lower back pain” is actually like my booty bone and it HURTS. I googled it and it said because your tailbone is literally moving due to it being like right behind your uterus/pelvis and baby is growing. They tell you sleeping on your left side is best so I do it but like .. that left side tail bone/lower back area is done for. I can’t bend, I can’t snap, I can’t do anything lol. SEND HELP PLS. 😭😭

I need help too! 15 weeks and jeez I don’t want to believe it’s gonna get worse than that 😭 I can barely walk and lower back pain is real

I’m starting to get that too , and I sit at my job for 12 hours , so hopefully it doesn’t get any worse. I really thought the pregnancy waddle was bc of the stomach, oooh no it’s definitely bc our hips and back are stretching to the heavens.

I'm 15 weeks too and not having tailbone issues ... yet. My left side just goes numb constantly. Randomly throughout the day and then when I'm sleeping. And I can't lay on my right side because well they say you're not supposed to but also I can't because it feels like my uterus is a brick trying to fall, even with support.

It feels so validating to hear someone else bring this up! This has been one of my worst symptoms since about week 10. I’m 14 weeks now and still feeling it. I just ordered a coccyx pillow to sit on (hoping it helps) and sitting right on top of a heating pad helps a little bit

I am at 16 weeks and I have had similar issues with pain in my tail bone around 13/14 weeks. I have a sitting job so definitely that adds to the pain. I have started getting up and walking more. The other thing that has helped me is prenatal yoga stretches. Just make sure you are not putting pressure on your abdomen with any yoga movements. Hope this helps!

ooouuu please drop the link or a picture of this pillow

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
