I was reading up on this because my sister is struggling with tailbone pain in her seventh month. Apparently, the hormone relaxin makes the ligaments loose, which causes the bone to shift. Many women seem to find relief using U-shaped cushions instead of standard pillows.
My wife's tailbone pain made her sit like a penguin! We bought a coccyx pillow that looked like a giant donut, and she carried it everywhere, even to restaurants. Don't feel shy to use one, it's a lifesaver for your backside!
During pregnancy, the body changes so much and we must treat it gently. Try not to stand on one leg when wearing clothes, sit slowly with support, and use a warm water bag on your lower back. If the pain is too sharp, always consult your gynecologist before trying any massage.
I just had my baby and had severe tailbone pain during my third trimester. Sleeping on my side with a thick maternity pillow between my knees helped align my pelvis and reduced the pressure. Don't sit on soft, deep sofas as they make the pain worse when you try to get up.

My wife had this pain and the only positive was that walking to the kitchen for midnight snacks actually helped her! Sitting in one spot for too long makes the tailbone stiff. A short, gentle walk around the house every hour really helps keep the area loose.
