[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been through both. First, let me say that everyone's experiences are DIFFERENT. I broke my tailbone falling down the stairs in my house in November 2008; my daughter was born in January 2010. The tailbone issue was excruciating,  and continues to bother me to this day. No sitting on hard surfaces, no sitting for long periods of time.

However, the tailbone issue was one of the contributing factors in my emergency c-section. My baby wouldn't turn, and she got stuck.

I am not an advocate of c-sections, except when absolutely medically necessary. Because of the incision, it's painful to hold your baby; getting up and down is rough; lying on your side is out of the question. Additionally, I was shot up with Demoral, without being asked or informed, and I passed out after my daughter was delivered. [b]I was the last person to get to meet her, to hold her. I missed everything, and I have regretted that every day since. [/b]

If you opt for the c-section, it's your choice, and hopefully it will be the choice that's best for you.  Just keep in mind my advice about no additional drugs. Meeting your baby will erase the pain. Best wishes and happy motherhood! [/quote]
This happened to me too, but it was because the epidural gave me a panic attack. OP and her spouse should advocate against that. It's not common. It didn't happen to me with my first child, even though I had a panic attack with the epidural with her too.[/quote]
