Coccyx is sticking out?

Hi all Smile I gave birth to my fourth child 9 weeks ago, she was born breech.
I was applying fake tan in the mirror today and noticed that my coccyx is either huge or moved outwards? It's not like I have a tale but a very noticeable lump just about my bum.
Did anyone else notice this after childbirth and does it go away on its own? Thanks

I have this too, from my first child almost a year ago. I've been to an osteopath a few times but it still sticks out. Perhaps you could ask for a referral for physio?

I had this with second child, noticed it most when in bath as it would hurt as I moved myself along hard bath. It did go away, not sure when but was just aware it wasn’t bad anymore. Think it was after a year though

It moves to open up the pelvis more. There are photos online, the Rhombus of Michaelis. It sticks out in birth... it'll go down.
