Coccydynia: inflammation of the tailbone. Can be treated with un-weighting by using a doughnut shaped pillow for extensive sitting. Also anti-inflammatory medication can be helpful.

Hemorrhoids: it is common to have hemorrhoids during pregnancy . Avoid constipation by drinking fluids and eating salads/ fruits. Avoid straining and sitting on comode for long time.
