Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

First of all do not panic.

The pain that you are getting can be due laxity or hurting of coccyx, the tail bone.
This can be due to increased laxity of ligaments and joints as a result of hormonal changes during pregnancy.

I want to assure you that it will be fine in few days.
Please take rest.
Use of cold fometation with ice pack will help.
Tablet Paracetamol 500 or 659 mg can be taken for piano relief as needed.
Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in the diet.
Avoid refined sugars and deep fried foods and bakery products.

Things will be fine in the due course of time.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
