Constant headaches

Hey guys!

I just wanted to check in and see if anyone else has been dealing with constant headaches? I’m 11 weeks and it’s been the most persistent symptom.

If so, how are you guys dealing with it? Would be grateful for any tips/tricks ☺️

Thank you!

Question for mums who had both vaginal and c-section birth

Hi all, I'm a FTM due in August. I am still undecided between trying to go through labour with an epidural, or elective C section. I'm really scared of the pain. For those of you who tried both, were the pain levels similar? Including for recovery, for example is natural birth labour more or less painful than a c section recovery? Thank you x

Guys.

My butt looks awful after having twos kids. 😭
I had my daughter back in 2022 and I got mom butt. After losing some weight it got a little better. Had little brother in November and here we are again and it looks worse this time. Flat and like I have dips on the sides; kinda like hip dips but a little lower. Any tips or literally any help with this?? 😅

How many weeks after a C section were you driving?

I have had my second C section 4 weeks and 1 day ago. I recovered very quickly after both sections but more so this time. I have been running for over a week with the pram and my husky dog. I have been able to do sit ups without any strain, pain or any signs of being uncomfortable.

I would like to drive even though I’m not at the 6 week clearance. My husband is being a stickler for rules and is worried about our insurance. During my last pregnancy/ section recovery, I asked the doctor to sign me off, but they said they were happy to have me self certify but wouldn’t personally sign anything, so that isn’t an option.

Anyone have any advise/ experience?

Round Ligament Pain — am I dramatic?

Hey everyone! Wondering what you alls experience is with round ligament pain? I recently have been experiencing rather severe (severe for a mama who has had relatively no bothersome pregnancy symptoms until this) pain! I described in great detail the pains I am feeling to my doctor and she diagnosed it as round ligament pain & has even given a referral to PT that I will be scheduling tomorrow! It literally feel like my bones are dislocating at the bikini line — as if I’ve slammed myself into a split (never before done) and it hurts to walk and move! Has anyone had this experience and what helped? (I know RLP is a part of the experience but wow I feel like I’ve broken a bone and can’t walk lol)

Muscle knots

Has anyone else been experiencing knots in their back, shoulders (especially the shoulder blades) and neck?? I’ve never had this problem until after having my baby.
I try to sit straight and not hunched over when feeding her, I try to move/stretch throughout the day, using my heating pad when I have the chance & have gotten massages. I got my second massage today and the lady said I had/have a lot of small knots and I FELT her get two huge knots out. I’m going to give it a couple days, see how my body feels and then I might call my PCP if I’m not feeling relief.

I’m not sure exactly why im getting so many knots and what I can do to help with this pain and discomfort 😩

Anyone else going through this or have? Any advice in the meantime??
