I'm pretty sure the epidural fucked up my back... I'm two weeks pp, and still constantly feeling…

I'm a year pp and I can barely do the dishes :/ I'm calling my ob tomorrow. Cause I wanna/need to go back to work.

@juliagail09, really :( it hurts a lot when I hold my baby or even Breastfeed her

Yeah like if we go to the store and henlei wants me to hold her I can't do it for longer then 10 minutes...it hurts too much.

My back pain kills me I'm 7 weeks pp .. At times I feel like I'm going to break .. It's painful

I had my oldest 6 years ago and still have back problems from it, also I had two more since then so my back is messed up bad

Same. It starts to hurt when I sweep or mop. It's sucks :(

Yeah same here and I'm 15 weeks now and I'm going to try my best not to get one this time

I received an epidural during my labor and delivery. its been 9 months after and my back doesnt really hurt. It did at first, but the pain gradually went away

your back will hurt for a while

I have a horrible back myself, which is why I was terrified of the epidural more than the pain of the labor, which led me to having a natural birth...I'm sorry sweetie, I've heard too many friends of mine say this exact thing, two of them say years later their backs are still fucked up...please talk to your doctor about it at your 6 week check up if it still hurts, he may suggest something to ease the pain or even get you physical therapy to help it go away 😔 I'm so glad I didn't get it because my back is really bad, I don't need to make it worse!!! I've thrown out my back 3 times since having my daughter 4.5 months ago, all from picking her up outta bed 😢 I know it hurts while breastfeeding because of awkward positions and weight distribution, one tip I'll give you with that is to have lots of pillows at the ready while feeding her, stack them behind you to give lots of support in your lower back region, and lean back with a pillow (the Boppi breastfeeding pillows work great!) underneath your baby to hold her wieght, and your arm will just be there to support her head and keep her close....it still hurts if you're in this position for a long time, but it gives you more time this way before it gets bad!

(This is my position now, the Boppi just kinda holds her wieght so I don't have to, and the pillows all behind me add extra support so I'm not holding myself up anywhere....the more you have to use your back muscles, the worse it will hurt, so keep that in mind!)

@hellosweetie, that's so helpful. I will definitely try that out. thanks! yes...I've noticed my lower back hurts worse when I am feeding her!!

No problem! I hope it helps you out, I know too well about back pain!!!
