Back pain?

I am 4 months postpartum from my first c-section and my back has been hurting so bad. It right where my epidural and spinal is. It feels like a ball and hurts when I lay flat. Or stand and sit or so long. Has anyone else felt like this is it normal or do I need to get medical help?

Hello, thus is happening to me too. I am 3.5 months pp after an emergency c-section. The pain is so bad, especially when I sleep. I cannot get quality sleep. Even turning from one side to the other hurts my spine.
I tried physio and they told me to do some light yoga (cat’s cow, child’s pose) and some breathing exercises but honestly it didn’t help.
The pain is so bad that I thought I should probably do an xray, so I did and it came back normal

The doctor did refer me to an orthopaedic specialist, so I’m waiting to see what they can do. My doctor was originally going to prescribe me medication for the pain, but be careful because it affects your breast milk if you are breastfeeding.
It’s so painful, and I hope it goes away soon for the both of us 🤞

I’m in PT for this after 2 C sections and severe pack and hip pain. Its your pelvic mama..its most likely unaligned and its causing all that stress on your back . I thought it was epidural/spinal was too.

Private Scan

I had my private scan today (reassurance for my paranoid self) and I’m measuring 3 days ahead (8 weeks 3 days) and then the man said oh do you want to see your baby in 4D? Didn’t think you could see an 8 week baby in 4D so there we go!

Choosing our 2nd son's name just showed me even more, how culturally inept people are

We chose a first name for our 2nd son and yes granted it is very uncommon, but it's what my husband and I agreed on and loved. My husband is half British and half Jamaican, so the name is in honor of that. We chose the name Babatunde, also before we even chose that name our first son kept pointing to my belly saying "Baba". When I told family/friends I got some "LOL's" or "what a mouthful". I'm kind of used to this anyway because with our first son people STILL say his name wrong even though it's not hard at all and these people are family and his own doctor 🤦🏼‍♀️ I remember being at a baby group and a Mum asked if my son was Japanese because of the "weird name"... His name is Kaizen (pronounced Kaizen (like sky) and Zen (as in Zenn garden). He consistently gets called "keyzone" "keyzen" "kozen" half the time I know it's just ignorance. But all this opened my eyes even more to how inept or ignorant people are when it comes to other cultures or ethnicity. Obviously I'm extra aware especially with the way the UK is going. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this?

Settle something for me.....

If your partner went out to the shop to grab a picture frame, and while out messaged "do you want anything else?" To which you replied "no", but then he came home with an ice cream for everyone in the family but you....would you be annoyed?

Like I didn't realise you were somewhere that even sells ice cream, and didn't realise everyone was getting ice cream but me!

Just to add, I'm currently 8 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding and so am permanently hungry 😂

39weeks 2 days

I came in for induction but when they checked me I’m 3cm dilated already so no induction but they moving me to labor ward for hormone drip as I’m not constant with pain it’s minor bare-able pain so yeah !! Anyone has this kind of experience and what happens next and how the drip works ?

Pressure

Hello I am 35 weeks pregnant and have I been feeling lots of pressure and stabbings in my vagina and bottom the last couple of days especially when walking. Does this mean I am going to go into labour soon ??

Seriously fed up

I’m 34 weeks on Tuesday and I’m so over being pregnant. I wanted to enjoy it as this is our last (3rd) baby but I’m just miserable, uncomfortable, feel like a bad mum for not being able to do more with the kids. I cannot wait for this to be over!

We’ve discussed induction based on my previous VERY fast labour- how early can they induce me for this?
