Michelle,

Your situation sounds pretty tough, seems no matter which way you go there are things that could make into problems. I dont know if my situation is the same as yours, but I have chosen elective c section again for this pregnancy as my baby seems quiet on the larger size around 10 lbs already, my 1st was 10 lbs 2oz, And I have a sverely damaged hip as well from takin 2 falls on the same hip when I was around 25 weeks pregnant both within a week of each other. My OB reccomended elective C section as they are safer than emergency c sections, and he did not know the strain or impact labour and birth would have on my hip being such a tubby bubby. I am much the same I dont want another c section, they arent easy, the recovery is horrible, but all in all you know within yourself what would be safer for you and your baby. My OB was also worried about me being so small and with my bunged up hip and pelvis how I would go pushing such a big baby out, apparently a few labours fail to pregress from big babies, so I dunno. And as for being induced, if you dont think you could go through the pain with your tailbone Im not sure I would do it, but then again C section is really just as bad the day and weeks even months after! I hope you find a solution soon! Let us know what you decide what to do.
