My bum hurts!!!
I have been dying in pain because of this!! As I lost weight it got worse, then when I was pregnant, the pain actually went away. The 2nd day after I had the baby, while in the hospital, I started getting the horrible tailbone pain. I thought it had something to do with my spinal but I'm still getting it today. I can't sit in the same spot for more than 15 minutes of it hurts like a &%@$#. I seriously don't know what to do about it. I'm ready to see a doctor!!
You know those neck pillows people get for traveling on the airplanes? Get a fat one of them - as fat as you can find it - and sit on that, putting your tail bone where the neck part is at...that way you've got cushion under your bum w/o anything pushing - or at least much less pushing - on your tail bone. That's what I've had to resort to. Mine hasn't been because of pregnancy but from weight loss...I still look like I have a fat ass...but there's a lot less of a fat ass there to cushion my poor tail bone.
