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!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
