How To Decrease The Chances Of Coccygeal Subluxation While Giving Birth?

I have experienced coccygeal subluxations whilst giving birth twice. It took 12 months for the pain to subside to mild discomfort with my last baby. I am now pregnant again, I am concerned with quality of life post next delivery. I wish to give birth naturally, is there any way I could decrease the risk of injury again?

Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) I will suggest you to perform Kegelle exercise at least twice a day from now onwards. It involves contracting and relaxing the muscles around your vagina and anus. This will help you at the time of delivery.

3 ) At the time of delivery if a generous episiotomy is taken and baby delivery is assisted by vaccume, and proper perineal support is given then you can have safe delivery vaginally.

4 ) I'd suggest that if your doctor feels that delivering the baby vaginally will be harmful and will lead to coccyx injury , he or she might suggest you to get C Section done.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
