During my recent birth, which was a failed vacuum then forceps delivery, I experinced extreme coccyx pain during the actual delivery, heard an audible popping and felt an extreme pain. After the delivery I had extreme coccyx pain for at least 3 weeks, leaving me with much diffiulty walking or sitting an in extensive pain. I've been informed that I ma have broken my coccyx. My coccyx, after much physio and osteo intervention is now feeling back to 98% thank god! However, the doctor who delivered my daughter and the osteopath have both commented on how my coccyx curves much more forward (eg towards my front) then normal.

I'm terrified that I will end up in a simlair situation for my second child (not yet conceived! ). I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or information on how I could minimise coccyx damage and pain with my second birth. I'm after resources or people that may be exprienced in this area. I'm paticurlary interested to see if positioning could have a positive effect, and if so, which positions.

Thanks in advance!
