[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if there is anyone out there who has experienced BOTH of these... but if so, I would appreciate hearing from you. I've had 2 vaginal deliveries. Both resulted in a "broken" tail bone (actually, its a dislocation, but they call it a "broken" tailbone). The pain and recovery both times has been nothing short of miserable. A good 3-4 months of pain and not really being able to sit. I tried chiropractic treatment after #1 (which did little) and physical therapy after # 2 (which at least helped the muscles of my hips and back get worked out after "sitting" in bizarre positions all day). I'm pregnant with my third. My OB has offered me a planned C-section. I intend for this child to be my last. I'm really "against" C-sections. Don't begrudge other people doing them for whatever reason, but it is major abdominal surgery and I think that's always something to avoid if possible. Plus I'm scared about a C-section. It seems like a scary experience even if you can't feel anything. But I'm pretty sure that #3 will break my tailbone again, and I'm really just starting to consider the recovery issues. My friends who have had C-sections have never had any complications. Frankly, I think they were in less pain than I was in (just from my observation), and after a week or two, they seemed "pretty good". Most of them felt pretty much fully recovered in 6 weeks. Any thoughts from people on whether to opt for the C-section or not?[/quote]
