Description

If you're expecting a baby or had one recently, you must have come to know what a roller coaster ride it is. Full of emotions, excitement, fear, and unfortunately, pain! Pregnancy is the time when a woman surrenders her entire body for the beautiful purpose of bringing a new life into the world. Pregnancy doesn't only cost your physical health but also your mental wellbeing. This is because your body goes through various changes, which are sometimes very uncomfortable.

Many of these discomforts may persist after your pregnancy as well. One such is coccyx pain. In simpler words, it is the pain you feel in your tailbone. I had significant tailbone pain which lasted a good 7 weeks after giving birth to my son Teddy. The pain I experienced was significant at times making sitting unbearable. I was only able to get comfortable laying on my side, So, if your tailbone has become a real pain in the butt, keep listening!
