[quote=Anonymous]I will chime in with what is apparently the minority opinion. I would avoid an unnecessary c-section (and I am NOT in any way anti-c-section - very pro medicine, pain control, don't think of IVs as scary "interventions"). I had the broken tailbone with my first and my second. Currently pregnant with third and would not consider a voluntary c-section just to avoid the tailbone recovery. Yes, it hurts, and it hurts for a good long while. The issue for me is risk - there are more known risks of serious complications from surgery than from vaginal birth. Blood clots, bleeding, infection, etc. I am willing to put up with a longer period of sore tailbone rather than risk a serious or potentially fatal c-section complication. I know that the likelihood of such complications is low - but I'm risk averse and any choice I make will be the choice that presents the least risk for my family. Not willing to have a freak pulmonary embolism after c-section and leave my three children motherless.[/quote]
