Intense lower back pain

Does anyone have intense lower back pain? First time mom so I honestly don’t know if it’s just from the pregnancy or from the epidural and spinal block I was given. I’m just in so much pain and nothing seems to relieve it. I’m 10 weeks postpartum.

Same girl, I’m in the exact same position but 11 weeks postpartum. I think it’s due to the epidural and spinal block 😩

Yeah, there's a lot of nerves right where they do the epidural and it can bother some people's back. I'm 7mo postpartum and still get that searing back pain

Im 10 days in and my lower back is really bad. 😪🤷🏼‍♀️

I had a C-section and the pain has been so bad and excruciating it makes me cry at times I’m 4 weeks PP and it still comes on strong I’ve been taking ibuprofen everyday just to move around otherwise I’m in agony. I’m really hoping it gets better to 😢 I’m also keeping a hot water bottle every night.

Always wet!!!

Any solutions for constant discharge?????? It’s healthy and more when I’m ovulating but I can’t just wear panty liners all months that’s not healthy. It’s so overstimulating and I can’t deal.

Movement

Anyone experiencing really irregular/“unpatterned” movements? I am 23+5. Last week baby seemed so active everyday moving and thumping inside. The last couple of days the movement has seemed less - especially through the daytime - and also feels less intense (maybe just moved position or cushioned against something?). I have posterior placenta. Hard not to overthink/panic so wanted to know if anyone else experiencing the same! X

Inductions

Hey I’m hoping to hear positive induction stories, theres so much negativity surrounding the hormone drip and I’m now absolutely shitting myself to get induced tomorrow. If anyones had an unmedicated induction and spontaneous delivery I’d love to hear the differences in pain levels as well, i went unmedicated with my son and whilst it was shit it was definitely manageable but im not sure if i should mentally prepare myself for an epidural this time around. My waters are already bulging apparently so I’ll be going straight to that and won’t need the balloon or propess x

My daughter

My baby girl has been congested and now I noticed a little sleep in her eyes I am taking her to the doctor this morning so that they can look but it is just one eye 😢 it’s the eye that looks like it’s wet but it’s not

Father’s day

it’s my boyfriend’s first father’s day (our sons 6 weeks old) coming up and i genuinely do not know what to get him. he likes sports and work🤣He doesn’t usually like father day as his own father’s absent however with him now having his own son i want to make it as special as possible for him.
does anyone have any ideas of gifts/ things to do on the day?
thank you thank you 🙈🤍

35 week growth scan

Did anyone else have a growth scan at 35 weeks?

I had mine today and baby is weighing 6lbs5ozs. I have GD and on metformin twice a day.

The woman doing the scan asked if there was a plan to induce early and now I’m wondering if they will.
