Because I think I did!

DS2 arrived very speedily 9 min after we got to a delivery suite and I did the whole thing kneeling with a a straight back (so my head was resting on my folded arms). About 2 hours after the birth my tailbone felt very sore and bruised.

DS2 is 5 days old and it's still painful! Currently dealing with it using ibuprofen gel on the sore bit but it does make sitting and pulling myself to standing a bit of a trial.... anyone else had this?
