Well my first two births ended with me cracking my tailbone upon delivery but I think the cause was because I was in a semi sitting/laying position which in turn caused me to be pushing right down on my tailbone and because its curved funny, it cracked.....
Do you think that if I gave birth on all fours this time or squatting that it would help take the pressure off the tailbone and therefore possibly stop me hurting it?
It took like 4-6 months to heal properly with the other two kids so I really really don't want to go through that again!!
Any other birthing positions that could possibly help my situation?
The midwives at my hospital are pretty thick and not really into suggesting ways to make it easier for me, rather easier for them!
Thanks ladies and have a fantastic christmas tommorrow!!

You should ask your midwife for a birthing swing or birthing stool.Both in which keep pressure off your tailbone and you get a little aid from gravity.
