Back pain when ill

I had an emergency C-section January 2024 and ever since then whenever I’m ill I have the most severe back where the spinal block went in.
Is this normal and if so will it getter better or am I stuck with this for life ?? x

I would say you should book an appointment with your GP and flag this and ask to be assessed by the team that carried out the C section. I don’t necessarily think you will be stuck with it for life but I had an emergency C section and and I don’t have any back pain other than some posture aches.

I had a spinal combined with an epidural for my c section in October and since then I’ve been experiencing bad back pain especially when I’m cold or unwell and I got told it was potentially nerve damage and was advised to stretch daily which hasn’t been very effective. Maybe ask your gp to refer you to physio?

The exact same thing I have been experiencing for the past two weeks and feeling feverish and I have bitter mouth also

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
