Congratulations, Buff! I remember reading your posts. After my son was
born (8 lb 6.5 oz) My tail bone hurt like crazy, too. It turns out I
had a UTI that could have been causing the lower back pain--It might be
worth getting checked out. I never got checked for a broken tail bone,
but like you, I'd broken mine 3 times before--I'm not sure it wasn't
broken then, but goodness it was worth it. Again, congratulations.
