Will it take 2hrs again to push bab. #4 out??

[Phoebe]

Baby 1: 3.5 hrs pushing, 9lbs 15oz (then csection)
Baby 2: 2.5 hrs pushing, 8lbs 12oz (hbac, broken tailbone)
Baby 3: 2+ hrs pushing, 10lbs (hbac, broken tailbone again but easy recovery from it)

So, big babies, petite mom with a total pancake butt (pelvis is probably narrow from front to back, just my opinion) with trouble getting baby under tailbone each time, and a broken tailbone each time.
I've got no problem with the tailbone popping. It's never caused a real problem. I just would really like to have a 2nd stage that is less damn work!

Last birth I was in transition before I realized active labor had begun! Then I had to push for so long.

Any hope for a short second stage this time??
Give it to me straight...I can take it!!

No advice about the tailbone issue, but I pushed for, oh at least 4 hours to get my posterior DD out, then last Friday, her well-positioned brother came out in an hour. Still long compared to some, but for me, it was soooo much better. It was all about the position of the baby. She was only 7.6 lbs and he was 9.2lbs. Good luck!
