How many people have had the epidural and had back pain after it was administered? Do you think the back pain was a cause of the epidural?

Me, I now do suffer with back pain, but I am unsure if this is due to having epidural.

I had an epidural and can’t say my back pain is where I had it, but I’ve always suffered with back pain. I can say for sure that it hasn’t gotten worse since then.

A midwife with 30 years experience took our class and told us epidural doesn’t cause back pain(backed by research), it’s the pregnancy/child birth that causes it.

I had the epidural done and I’m still suffering from back pain, I have trouble sleeping at night

yeah definitely horrible ain’t it

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?
