Brief Answer:
Commonly gets precipitated in pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, i understand your anxiety.
Yes it can cause labour pain for sure and in your case (as you had really speedy delivery) you most probably had previously dialated cervix.
it is very common to have sacrococcygeal problems in pregnancy and can get precipitated due to abnormal postures.
Take care.
