Question
Tailbone pain!
Help! I am a week away from my c-section and all of a sudden my tailbone is killing me! My Dr. let me take 600mg of Motrin, but only once. It helped then a couple of hours later I went to get up off the couch and felt something pop. Again, I was in bad pain! Does anyone have any sugestions? I am hurting so bad!

This means that your baby has dropped into position and you would be a prime candidate for back labor!! I don't know the reason for your C (and it's not my biz), but that's probably all it is. If you're worried, call your OB!
I know what you're going through! My tailbone was killing me for the last month and a half of my pregnancy - and my son was born 8 weeks premature!! My doctor told me that most women don't have the pain until AFTER labor, and I basically just had to deal with it. I bought a vibrating cushion from WalMart that helped and I was going to buy a donut (you know, the kind the doctor gives you when you have a hemorrhoid or something) but I never made it that far! At least you're just a week away! (Sorry)!
it could be so many different things...after my friend had her second child her tailbone hurt her for over a year...then when she got prego with her third it was twice as bad...the good news is that she was induced and had an epidural with her third and about 1 hour after she had the epidural she heard a HUGE poping sound it turns out her tailbone was misplaced or something ever since she had her second baby and when she had her third it popped right back in place.... she hasnt felt any pain since....lol
good luck
My tailbone killed while my hips were starting to seperate to hold the baby.
