Me too. Im 6 weeks and noticed lower back pain on and off post leaving hospital after c section. I rub deep heat on it that seems to help. Im afraid we ll just have to bear this pain from now on ..

Yeah I’ve been having weird spasms in my back, right were my failed epidurals and spinal were 🙃

Oh interesting question. Im 4weeks ppl and have noticed the last 3 weeks that when I hunch forward, curving my spine, I have discomfort in the area where the epidural was. Not spasms or pain, but sort of a dull muscle soreness. Cant feel it when upright, just w a round back. Wonder if that'll just go away eventually, especially once I'm not as limited in activity/babytrapped

Yep I’ve had it since about a week after my section . I’ve noticed my back goes really easily aswell now but I was just putting it down to the strsin of a twin pregnancy

Didn't have a c section but did have an epidural although I don't think my back pain is related. I had crippling back pain with both pregnancies (much worse this time) so I think it's just my body recovering. It took a good year with my first so expecting the same this time. Gentle exercise and being aware of my posture helps.

Baby movements are overwhelming

I want to start by saying I am so grateful my baby is healthy and developing as she should be but she is moving and wiggling CONSTANTLY.

I mean more or less all day every day from the moment I wake up to when I go to sleep kicks and rolls. It is so lovely to feel but at the same time I’m finding it so overwhelming. I’m 30 weeks so have 10 weeks to go (at least!) and I feel I’m just wishing away the time because it is so over stimulating 🫠

Hoping someone can relate and I’m not a horrible witch for getting upset over a healthy happy baby 😭

Phoning MAU

Does anyone else feel bad phoning midwife assessment unit, phoned up for reduced movements and I just feel bad like I’m wasting their time and then I’m worried when I get there they are going to be annoyed at me!

Family’s party

So we have been invited to a family party but it starts at 7:30pm. My little one will be 10 months. They want him to be there but that’s way past his bedtime. I would like to take him but I don’t want to ruin the routine we have. What would you suggest??

Birthday

Today is my birthday. I don't really have many friends or any family here in this state, except my kids & boyfriend. We can't afford to do anything for my birthday, except a cake. So, I was wondering if I could get some birthday cheers on here...... please 🙏

Emergency 🚨

Hey moms, I just wanted to say if you don’t have an emergency backpack for you and your household make one now. My kids and I just ran out of the house with no shoes and all I had time to grab was a bottle and formula. All I knew was fire and grab all 4 of my kids. Im shaken but I learned to stay prepared for emergencies.
