Poses such as cat-cow, torso twists, bridge and downward-facing dog are a few examples of ones that can help. My midwife also recommended that I assume a squat position several times a day with my low-back pressed flat against the wall. This along with cat-cow pose was particularly helpful for me. Nobody wants to hear this when pregnant, but indulging every craving is unwise for both you and the baby.
Gaining more than what your doctor recommends can increase strain on the lower back and other tissues of the body and compound posture problems.
Doing so can also bulk-up your little one, making delivery more challenging. Wearing a maternity back brace can help carry the weight you are supposed to gain. Such maternity support belts take some of the burdens off the low back by lifting the belly and adding a layer of support.
Wearing one can also improve your posture and reduce fatigue. Such slings are most effective when used from the end of the second trimester onward. Proper posture involves sitting upright with your core engaged, feet flat on the ground, the back just slightly curved and the neck straight. Need some help with this?
High heels are a big no-no for those dealing with pain in the tailbone. While some days I was more than happy to slip my feet into comfy flats, there have certainly been other times when my ego demanded that I wear the less sensible heels. Believe me, your back will thank you if you stick to the supportive shoes. Another pregnancy fashion caveat for those dealing with tailbone pain is to avoid tight clothing, especially pants.
The added pressure can aggravate the tailbone. Embrace the changes your body is going through and those pregnancy pants! Sign me up, right? While I asked my husband to massage my tailbone area several times each day during the worst of my discomfort, this really brought only limited, short-term relief.

The cause of tailbone pain in pregnancy can vary. Even seemingly minor things like constipation can make it worse. One more thing that could be behind your tailbone pain: Relaxin, a hormone secreted by the placenta, can exacerbate tailbone pain.
If you have the choice between sitting and lying down on your side, Lamppa recommends doing the latter, since it helps take pressure off your tailbone.
Tylenol, which is thought to be safe to take during pregnancy, is a good option here, Lamppa says. Using a donut pillow, which is a round pillow with a hole in the center, can help relieve pressure when you sit, Greves says.
