22 Weeks Pregnant With First And Worried About Abnormal Pain Posted: 11-24-03 03:13am
Hello. I am 22 weeks pregnant and worried
about these extreme pains that I have been
having in my tailbone. At certain times
it is excrutiating for a second. I don't
really have anyone to ask about this. I
am in the military stationed overseas, and
the healthcare here sucks badly. This is
my first child so as you can imagine I
have tons of concerns. If you have any
info at all that could help, or if you
just want to compare and talk please write
me back.

When I was pregnant with my son (who is 3
now) I had bad pains in my tailbone and
just below it, kind of to the right. I
was told it is a nerve that the baby is
sitting on and pinching which causes the
pain and which is why it does not hurt
sometimes and hurts badly at other times,
because the baby moves and accidently sits
on it or pushes against it. I forget the
spelling but it is something like sciatic
(psy-attic) nerve. You might be able to
find some info online about this and
hopefully my story helps ease your fears a
little! The pain I had did not hurt my
baby at all and I had a healthy boy who
was born on his due date, I am sure
everything will be fine with you! Best of
luck! Keep us posted,
