Im the same, im 29+2 and my back and hips are agony. I already suffered from a sore back. I also have really bad sciatica in the back of my legs. I’ve had to tell my boss I’ll not be in tomorrow and I’m going to phone the doctor tomorrow. I can be so so in the morning but a couple hours later after walking around now and again at work and I’m hobbling along in so much pain. It’s just getting worse every day so I’ve accepted I need to rest and I’ll see what the doctor says. I’ve had physio already and I’m doing the exercises but it’s still there.

Have you got a birthing ball? It’s really helped with my posture and then that’s helped to ease my lower back pain. Swimming is also really good! For immediate relief maybe hot water bottle/hot water pack and just trying to lie down & sit in different positions. Hope it starts to ease up for you soon.

I had the same problem starting at 29wk. For me, physio only made it worse and I was having trouble walking, bending over, even sitting. I found a good osteopath who works with pregnant women that did some spine adjustments, and I started feeling relief immediately in her office. Turned out I had a pinched nerve. Might be an option to consider/look into!

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Feeling so overwhelmed

I have gone back to work this last week. I’m struggling so much. My baby has just started nursery and she’s finding it really hard. She’s also ill with a terrible cold and conjunctivitis at the moment. Sleep is horrendous - I’m getting maybe 4/5 very broken hours having to co sleep. It feel so hard. Last night I argued with my partner so badly and I feel like our relationship is taking such a hit. He reassures me and says all the right things I just feel a bit numb/sad this last week/2weeks. I’m also considering stopping breastfeeding after doing it exclusively for a year.
Just wondered if anyone is feeling the same/similar? X
