Lower back / pelvic pain

Am now 37+4 and am on day 5 of severe sciatic lower back pain on one side. Every time I try to walk it’s agony. Has anyone else had this? Any tips for trying to ease the pain I’ve tried salt bath, massage, ball and sitting on my ball x

I have this and I can't find anything that helps. So I'm just sitting at home like a hermit until baby arrives, as can't walk far enough without having a flare up :(

Yes we are back to back too :( I've managed to get him to turn slightly, so he is now more sideways, but still getting the pains just not as constant.
Good luck Chloe! Get bouncing and doing certain yoga poses

@Chloe you will be fine and it will all work out well. This is my first, and I'm just trying to find out as less as possible, because then I can't worry leading up to it and just deal with whatever on the day lol xx

I wonder if mine has turned and is now back to back as all was fine before last weekend and now walking is sooo painful. Am seeing the midwife later so will ask her to try and make out baby’s position.

Hopefully your babies turn and make labour easier for you both x

Just recovered from my crazy sciatica shooting pain. Tried a million things and found the following to work for me: (a) cow/cat yoga pose, felt like it helped relieve the compression. Did it 6 to 8 times each time with breathing. I also did it on the bed, as there was no way I could get down on the floor myself. (b) applied heat pack and did a mini hot stone therapy.

Hope this helps! Really hope you feel better soon.

@Sophie 🩵 quite possibly. Ours was fine but then went back to back and is now sideways.
I hope your midwife appt goes well. I have one on Sunday- 38 +2 I will be.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
