Back Issues postpartum
I’m 2 weeks post partum and was just wondering if anyone else has suffered with severe back pain at this stage? I had an epidural, but the pain down my left side is wild and I don’t know if it’s normal…

I also had the pain. I had it all the way until about four months postpartum. And still get shooting pains now and then and I’m 18 months postpartum. But if it gets too extreme, definitely talk to the doctor. ❤️
I had something similar, severe back pain, after c section. I got stuck one night where I couldn’t lift my little one up as the pain was so bad. I did lose some big blood clots and they attributed that to a lot of the pain. By 6 week check up it did lessen and now it’s just my usual bad back, nothing like it was during those early days. My daughter is 15 weeks now. Have it checked out for your own peace of mind, but mine did get better 😊

How to cope, Emergency C section
months of prepping for a water birth and i ended up having to be induced then an emergency c section since baby boy decided he didn't want to come anymore😂 im only 16 days pp but since coming home i've been constantly up and moving about. i don't think i've processed how traumatic the birth was yet since my family and partner haven't really sympathised with what i went through at all
any tips or advice for coping ? should i even bother with talking therapies?

Failed sweep now cramping
I had an attempt at a sweep yesterday afternoon but my cervix was fully closed so midwife couldn’t perform it.
Since then I’ve been very crampy. Does cramping mean the cervix is softening?
Has anyone has a failed sweep that lead to cramping that turned into spontaneous labour?

UK Mums: Have you ever had your 38 week (or later) midwife appointment at a Children's Center?
Unfortunately my care pathway has changed as my midwife is going to be on vacation for the rest of my pregnancy (to be clear this does NOT bother me, well deserved). And sadly there are no midwife appointments available at my GP, so I have to go to a children's center. The only thing I'm worried about is privacy, as I have attended baby massage classes there and it's just a big open room and I don't remember there being any other private rooms there. I'm worried about how they will do any checks, measurements or even sweeps (if offered). Wondering if any other UK Mums had this happen?

Exhausted 😴
37 weeks today and I have zero energy.
I had 7 hours (broken) sleep last night and by 10:30am I could feel myself nodding off on the sofa.
Really struggling to entertain my 3.5 year old because I can barely keep my eyes open! Tell me I’m not the only one 🥱💤
