Tailbones anyone?

I'm a ftm, 38 weeks. The Dr checked me out and said everything was good, but my tailbone is tilted and may break during labor. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue while giving birth. Was a c-section preformed? If not what did you do to take care of the broken bone?

I doubt that it will break but when ur tail bone breaks nothing is done. It just heals on its own. I broke my tail bone a couple of years back and drs said I just had to wait it out for it to heal. I doubt that would be a reason for a c section

Research different birth positions
Some positions like laying sideways take the pressure of your tailbone if your having a hard time with the research
Talk to a midwife

Mine didnt break that I am aware of but my tailbone pain was the WORST part of my recovery. They can usually give you stronger medication other than tylenol.
