Sore butt?!

[Taurean]

this is so funny! We all have sore butts! If someone had told me that would be a common complaint in pregnancy (well, the third tri anyway), I would have laughed in their face! It sounds so ridiculous, hey, but geez it hurts!

This morning (after a VERY restless night due to a very sore groin - what next?!), I seriously thought I'd some how competed in the last leg of the Tour de France. It sure feels like it!

My tailbone used to ache if I sat down for to long

Yes! My tailbone is where it really hurts after sitting down... or if it's in the car, my back joins the pain party.

Try sitting on a comfy pillow?

Oh sweetheart, i don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but that sounds like you might have SPD or pelvic laxity - when the relaxin does its job TOO well & the pelvic/hip/lowerback joints get stretched too far, and then all your muscles have to go into overdrive to hold it all together. The clincher is telling us you had a sore groin - classic symptom.

Good idea to be assessed NOW by a physio (find one who specialises in women's care or via the hospital where you will have your bub), who will give you some dos and don'ts and probably fit you with a support belt/tubithingy to wear. Don't wait a few weeks until it gets worse - act now cos you can prevent the pain from getting worse than it has to.

I was starting to wonder if that's what it is now. I've been seeing a physio for my lower back issues for some weeks now and they have explained that all my other bits are aching trying to fill in for the job my back should be doing. I have a sacro-lumbar support belt which I wear when I'm doing housework (as housework is a nightmare!) but I think I might need to wear it more often now - boohoo!

Thanks for the tips but it looks like I'm alreayd doing all I can. I think the only other solution is to give birth! 7 and a bit weeks...and counting! LOL!

Kinda... though mine has been more my right hand side of my stomach, right under my ribs - and has been like that for probably 10wks now
Hope you find relief hun
