i have a very similar problem with my tailbone now and i am not pg. my dr said i probably didn't even do anything to trigger it. i have been doing exercises to strengthen the muscles in my bum and also been getting magnetic laser light therapy which has helped. she has also suggested either an osteopath or a craniosacral therapist to assist me.
its very annoying though and i have learnt new ways to sit and lie down.

there is a condition called sacroiliac joint dysfunction that can cause pain in that region. i have suffered from it for both my pregnancies and i have to wear a belt plus go weekly to physio and hydrotherapy to try reduce the pain. not sure if the symptons are completely what you are experiencing, but google it and have a look. unfortunelty they will not be able to get rid of it but doing things increase your muscles strength and eliminating or reducing the triggers that cause it.

yeh thats what i've come across online however it seems that the belt is more for your pubic bone and your pelvis not your tailbone :S i don't think there is much you can do for tailbone.

i find the belt helps alot, it holds the back of the pelvis together better, its not the actual tailbone that causes the pain its the ligaments that hold the the tailbone to the pelvic bones, they loosen to much causing to much mobility and the muscles tighten and ache and sometimes the bones will crunch together, on some days if i do to much my joints collapse and i cant walk, its worse if i forget to take the belt with me, really sucks
