Owwwww!!! My coccyx is really hurting!! why?

[moominsmummy]

Am 40+2 and have woken up this morning with a very painful coccyx - DH says looks a bit swollen in that area - can't bend down at all

any ideas why this is and what I can do about it?

[StealthPolarBear]

was going to come on and say last time my coccyx was hurting it was because I was 4 weeks pg - but i see I'm 8 months too late!
Hope you are in labour

ring the hospital moomin, i heard brief talk once of back to back labour and lower back really hurting ???

[moominsmummy]

thanks carey -did ring the hospital - they didn't think it was labour - just baby being back to back (which the little monkey is)

TENS helping quite a bit fortunately

Mine was back to back and my coccyx was incredibly painful for a couple of days leading up to labour...

Sympathy

[moominsmummy]

thanks Tilly - encouraged by the "couple of days..." as DS was 14 days late so am hoping this LO will be here a bit sooner!

Fingers crossed then... I remember being practically bed ridden with it on the Sunday and dd "popped out" () first thing Wednesday

Good Luck
