Tailbone hindering natural birth? Due Jan.

Question

Have any of y'all had experience with injuring your tailbone? I injured mine when I was like 14 and could barely walk for like a month. I've never had it Xrayed, but my gma had an injury when she was younger and when she went to have her baby (my mom) they had to do an emergency Csection be chase otherwise the baby would have been ripped apart coming through because her tailbone had healed (henceforth why she didn't even know she had a problem) but it had healed like a hook.  
I just wanted to see if anyone else had had any experience with tailbone injuries?  I'm fearing I may have to get a C section but I'm gonna talk with my doctor on the 20th.

Answer

I was in a car accident in January. Shattered my pelvis, ruptured bladder, fractured tailbone and fractured two vertebraes and broken collarbone. My doctor said we will try vb but can't make any for sure birth plan due to the extent of my injuries. But hew ants to try and not have to do a c section. Just talk to your doctor about it! I'm sure they can't promise anything since you did injury it and there is no way of telling how it healed besides an X-ray and you can't have that now. Best of luck to you! 💕

Answer

Wow I'd never thought of this. I broke mine roller skating because I'm a clumsy idiot in 2014. If I can't have a third natural birth I'm going to be so disappointed. Definitely asking my midwife!!! PS the tailbone hurt way worse than childbirth without epidural.

Answer

I damaged mine during the birth of my daughter who is almost two. I am worried about this next one.... :/

Answer

I damaged mine too and now I'm wondering if I should bring this up in my midwife appt tomorrow lol 🤔
