Weird pain

I'm only 7 weeks 4 days. I'm experiencing tail bone pain. I figured it would occur later in pregnancy, but definitely not this early. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it common? I'm kinda confused...

I'm 21 weeks....but I started having tailbone pain awhile ago. If I would sit for long periods of time my tailbone would hurt so bad like I fell on it or something. It actually hurts right now because I was sitting on a plastic chair outside. I heard this is common. In women the little bones in our tailbone aren't fused together like they are in men. Our tailbones need to move a little bit when we are giving birth. I was told that the hormones that help relax the pelvic bones also relax the tailbones and can cause pain.
