[quote=Anonymous][quote]So even though the risks are relatively small, I wonder if its selfish of me to take even that small risk instead of suffering through the tailbone recovery.

but boy... it would be nice to feel better a couple of days after delivery. As you all know, new moms get up and down about 200 times a day... and getting up and down with a broken tailbone is so bloody painful.

Please keep any thoughts/opinions coming...[/quote]

What about the suggestions to have a consultation with someone like Whitney Pinger?  What if, with some delivery modifications, you could greatly reduce the likelihood of damaging your tailbone at all?   I agree with you that it is unlikely you are suddenly going to make a 6lb baby, unless you induce the baby at 37 weeks or so (NOT that I'm recommending that - probably would not be healthy for baby).

Also, if you do opt for the c/s, consider waiting until you start labor so that your baby has some of the benefits of labor, and so you know the baby is really ready to be born.  Usually OBs will not recommend this, simply because it makes scheduling awkward for them.  However, it would be beneficial to you and your baby.[/quote]
