Lower back pain

Omg I had 2 under 2
My youngest is 6 months old
I had an emergency c section for the first and a planned for the second.
And OMG why does my back hurt so bad now?!
I never used to have issues with my back but now after doing housework or whatever it tightens right up and I have to sit to relax it
Am I just getting old?!

idk how old you are but im 20 and i have the same problem, i have a 1 yr old and ive raised my brother since he was about 1 (i was 7). ive been told its a part of having kids, and i waited until the last min for my epidural and i couldnt sit still so its a possibility that was messed up too.

It’s your abs! I would recommend PT!

I am currently in it because I had a back injury as a teen, a rough pregnancy that included 5 weeks of hospitalized bed rest, and messed up my back again last week bending over 🤦🏽‍♀️

Also 30 lol

omg I was thinking maybe it’s cuz I’m badly out of shape from having two kids back to back
Can I not do work outs at home to help? Can’t afford PT nor do I have the help to watch my kids

It's also caused by being overweight.. And yes, after having kids not taking good care of your body will worsen back problems

I had a lot of trouble bending over and lifting, especially in the morning, for quite a while after my son was born 14m ago. Back pain but also incredible weakness. I'm feeling a lot better with that now that I'm back to strength training. Not sure that's the answer for everyone, but if nothing else, you're definitely not alone in struggling with postpartum pain!

it’s most definitely is the answer!
How do u guys find the energy at the end of the night to exercise?
I’m pooped out when I’m done caring for my two babes

Change your habits; take vitamins, eat better, drink lots of water. To boost your energy. I work 12 hrs a day and still am able to come home and cook sometimes, not all the time, but it does help tremendously since changing my everyday habits.

I try to get up before baby to exercise, or exercise during his naps. But I work from home and he sleeps through the night until at least 9 most mornings.

I’m praying things get easier when both keeps are older 🤣

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Silver cross pushchair

Has anybody had experience with the sliver cross cove or breeze? Me and my partner can’t make an agreement 😅 I like the cove but is it worth the extra money to the breeze?
