Hi Everyone,

I experience terrible tail bone pain especially so when I get up after sitting for a long time. Just wondering if anyone else is having any such similiar pains.

Best,
Raji Raji replied. Hi Dee and Sushmita,

Thanks a lot for ur inputs. It feels a lot better knowing Im not the only one feeling this pain. I certainly intend getting myself a nice cushion and also trying out all the exercises that Sushmita has listed.

Thanks,
Raji susmitha replied. Hi raji,
I'm also having the same problem. When I went to check up for 24 weeks appt with my gyn I told her. She simply told me to do some exercises (she gave me a book that has about backpain during pregnancy) and also walk regularly.
In that book they gave some exercises.
1. Pelvic tilt
2.Standing Pelvic tilt
3.Neck and back stretch
4.Leg lifts
5.Body bends
6.Tailor sit
7.Trunk turns
These r the exercises in that book
I think u can search for these in the net.
I'm not writing detail because even if I write it might be confusing so in some sites they might explain with figures right?
Safety tips while doing exercises:
1.Changing the positions slowly to keep from getting dizzy or falling
2. Breathing normally so u and your baby get enough oxygen.
3.Avoiding bouncy motions.
Hope this helps
good luck
susmitha dee replied. hi raji,

even ive been xperiencin this pain sometimes.for me it usually occurs when im sittin in a position for a long time.i dont know of any remedies but what i do is that i dont suddenly get up from the sitting position.instead i take a support of the chair handle or wall n then get up.

also i try keepin a cushion behind my back while sittin.its a big relief.

and if nothin works then i take tylenol tablets as recommended by my OB/GYN.

hope this helps.

take care
dee RohiniW replied. Yes I also have this kind of pain and it is a part of pregnancy aches and pains coz of the expanding pelvis.
I try certain home remidies my Mom recomended like having dry fruits everyday and the one for this one is Keerbeez(in Marathi) I have no idea what it is called in other languages. Also used as an ingredient for goondh laddoos(which is made after delivery for the new mother so that she can get her strenght back). You can also take edible gum with milk everyday. It gets stcky and does not dissolve in milk but it may help.
You can try them if you like and since these are home remidies it will take some time to see/feel the effectiveness. Although it might not dissappear totally.
Take care.
