I’m the same. It seems to be getting a bit better and will only be some nights now. My LO is just over 7 months but I sometimes struggled to get up in the morning due to back pain and would wake up in the night in so much pain. I never had a C section but did have an epidural due to being induced and I do wonder if it was from that. I’m really hoping it goes away and gets better. I find I get it a lot worse if I slept badly or slept in a really bad position. I do find getting my husband to give me a quick massage before bed or doing back stretches helps

I’ve got constant lower back pain since having my baby. I didn’t have a c section but I did end up having an epidural after being induced. I’ve heard this can cause back pain though I’m not sure how true this is. As mentioned above, my physio advised me to do core strengthening exercises… I never get time to do these but I need to make time as my back pain is getting worse!!

Thank you ladies, I’ll look into a local class maybe strengthening my core will help!

yeah mine isn’t every night, hoping it does ware off as it’s quite uncomfortable!
