Back pain

Can anyone recommend who I should go and see or what sort of treatment I should get for lower back pain? I do the yoga stretches etc but it’s still so painful and I’m in tears. I don’t want to be in this much daily pain until the end of June 😭
Any help or recommendations would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I’m currently suffering with lower back pain and sciatica . It’s flared up again and I see my Osteopath when it plays up.

I use a mixture of heat and ice packs too , always end on ice . Helps take the inflammation out. I’m due 14th June and been having back issues since NYE.

I would suggest asking your midwife to refer you for physio! Mine has just referred me as I am dealing with bad sciatica and a bit of pgp in the hips (particularly at night) not sure how much it will help but I can only but hope as I struggle with a lot of stuff for my 2 year old, picking him up etc x

My back is bloody terrible if I've been stood up for a long time 😅

If you speak to your midwife they should be able to get you a physio referral x

I’ve been struggling with pelvic girdle pain and sciatica during pregnancy, and my advice is, don’t hesitate to seek help! While waiting for an NHS referral, I saw a private women’s health physio, and just 1 session, plus occasional pain relief, got me back on my feet. I still do targeted exercises, gentle yoga, and use hot water bottles for relief. Oh, and a pregnancy support belt has also been a game changer. Hang in there- it does get better! The rest of your pregnancy doesn’t have to be a struggle, x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
