[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's see, I think you should break your tailbone.

Yep, that's the answer. Definitely. Just don't try to sit down for a few years.

Modern medicine is very bad and dangerous. Go for the broken bone and lots and lots of addictive meds.

Come on, I don't think anyone is saying that.  Yes, thousands of women have c/s every single day - especially in DC Metro - and the vast, vast, majority sail right through it.  So OP, obviously you are going to find many women who laugh at any resistance at all to a c/s.  But I think you are smart to really consider all angles here.  The truth is that the tailbone problem is the "devil you know" so it is not crazy to consider doing it again, and of course perhaps with some modifications it might not even happen again.  There are hundreds of rare but extremely serious outcomes from cesarean, just like there are hundreds of rare but extremely serious outcomes from vaginal birth (dislocated tailbone being one of them).   If you want a second medical opinion from a very different perspective, you would be wise to contact Whitney Pinger over at Washington Hospital Center.  Most OB's are used to offering c/s, so chances are you won't find much difference of opinion from another OB.  Good luck.  I know this would be a stressful decision for me![/quote]
