A member asked:
Is very bad tail bone pain normal at 31 weeks pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: During pregnancy, hormones relaxin and estrogen cause relaxation of the ligaments in the pelvic floor, allowing coccyx to shift more than usually sometimes causing pain.Pregnancy may worsen the tailbone pain caused by pre-existing conditions, such as constipation herniated disc in lower back, prior lower back injury, symphysis pubis dysfunction of pelvic floor.
