[lele2709]

Hi there im 20 and currently 15weeks pregnant with my second child I had my lil boy last year and broke my tailbone while pushing him out tmi sorry lol and im really worried I might do it again as I was in agony for months and couldnt enjoy being a first time mum :( has anyone else ever done this and broke it again for the second time or is there ways I can prevent it from happening? As if labour isnt hard enough lol thanks x

Sorry that happened to you! My advice is try laboring in a different position. You should research what would be best for you, and ask your doctor for suggestions.

You could labor on all fours, on your side, squatting, etc.

I would think that a different position would be better for your tailbone. (Assuming you labored on your back last time)

Good luck!!
