Period pain and coccyx pain (29 weeks DC2) tell anyone?

[Gettingonabitnow]

Hi

Woke up at 5am, really bad period pain that went into my coccyx area and bum - felt like I needed a poo (I didn’t). Lasted about 2 hours, it’s the first time since I had DC1 that I wanted to sit on a birthing ball for some relief!

It’s gone now. But I’ve been having this period pain on and off for a week.

Baby is moving. Otherwise I’m fit well and active.

Reckon tell anyone? Ie midfwife.

Thanks

Duringpregnancy, the ligaments in your body naturally become softer and stretch to prepare you for labour. This can put a strain on the joints of yourlower backand pelvis, which can causebackpain. I would mention it to your midwife though x

Thanks. Yeah it was more that back pain when you get your period, like you need the toilet, really distinctive rather than the normal aches and pains x

Sounds like your uterus stretching to accommodate baby should go within a day or two xx
