My aunt went through the same thing. She also said she felt like she had a hole in her back! No epidural for me. She said she couldn't feel her baby come out with the epidural and it doesn't help the contractions anyways :/

same here and I had one 5 yrs ago it's gets better but it hurts me worse in the cold I had no choice either I had to get it or I was gonna get a c section heating pads help though

oh no lol dont be...i mean it didnt work hardly at all for me and it messed up my back but i got bad luck like that. some people it works great and they have no problems. @lynleighs_mommy

now I'm scared to get one lol @juliagail09

she told me that it was probably my sciatica and to do the exercises and stretches(videos from online). and if it didnt work then i would have to go to physical therepy.. they didnt work but i haven't called her back and told her the didnt work... @lynleighs_mommy

whatd your doc say?? @juliagail09

me too. it hate it. a couple times when i would just stand up straight for a couple minues and i would go to move or bend down my back completely buckled and i couldnt move. i had to very slowly go down it was bad. i told my doctor i felt like a really really old lady....i couldnt move.

@juliagail09, right! I can't walk for more than one more by myself because it starts to hurt so bad. So I gotta take breaks and sit. I feel so helpless :(

i do too. it sucks. even cleaning and doing the dishes....i can't do it. its hard...makes me sad why i can't walk around and hold my baby for more then 5 or 10 minutes.

@juliagail09, I really hate it!

@scfxo, a month after I got outta the hospital.

my back is the same way after the epidural. 😕

When did you start feeling these pains ? I had to take the epidural too if not I was going to get a c-section 😕
