Bruised tailbone?

Question

Did anyone else get a bruised tailbone from labor/ sitting in hospital bed for two days? I've been home from the hospital for a week and my tailbone still hurts. Makes nursing very uncomfortable! 😰

Answer

I was in labor 26 hours with my first born. Epidural for half that time. My tailbone hurt more than my vagina after the epidural wore off. I was told that I fractured it during delivery and there was nothing for them to do for me.  It took almost 1.5 years to feel better. I was so afraid it would be a problem with my second birth but wasn't at all. Still uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time though.

Answer

Me!!!!!!!! Omg I thought I was the only one. I gave birth yesterday at 4 am and am taking Norco because I bruised it so badly it hurts like hell to sit down or get up. Forget the other pain down there. If it continues for more than a few weeks, I'll need to see an orthopedic doc cuz apparently it's not uncommon to do damage to your lower back/tailbone and need physical therapy. But my gut says it's just a legit bruised tailbone. But it's by far the worst part of an otherwise great pp. Also pushed so hard I have insane petikia (spell? Broken blood vessel pin pricks ) all over my face and neck.
