Pain in the tailbone, left buttock

Hi ladies. I'm almost 14 weeks now and have had pain in my tailbone and left buttock for the past 2 weeks. In the morning I feel almost nothing, but from around 2 PM onwards, I don't know how to sit or stand anymore. Is this already pelvic instability, or could it go away?
Anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi, I've got this too now and I'm 11 weeks pregnant. I had it during both my pregnancies and for me it was pelvic instability. It's really unpleasant because it hurts so much. I went to the physio and use a pelvic support belt around my pelvis, which helps a bit. Try to find a balance in walking, sitting, lying down. Unfortunately, it only got worse for me and I couldn't work anymore. I also use a hot water bottle; warmth relieves the pain. I'd say go to your GP and ask for a referral to the physio, it'll help you get through the pregnancy. Good luck!
