Would YOU opt for the C-section?
I'm 31w and planning on a natural birth. My tailbone was broken about twenty years ago and never healed properly...it makes a rather sharp angle and has bothered me my whole life. Well, my OB told me today that chances are my tailbone will re-break during delivery. She suggested I consider a c-section. I asked her if rebreaking it could possibly correct the previous problems, and she said it's a possibility. But of course it'll hurt like hell while healing for 12 weeks-ish. I don't know what to do...
🔷
1) Do I go forward with a natural birth and figure I've broken it once and survived, and that I can handle it again? I'd take the chance of actually correcting the precious fracture. I suppose it could also get worse,

2) Get an epidural to help with the pain of it breaking, but still try a vaginal delivery,

3) Opt for a c-section to avoid the pain of breaking and healing, and lose my opportunity and goal to have a natural childbirth?

I don't know what to do. 😥
