Nope nothing on

What is the best thing to do to ease an aching back? I woke up with a bit of an aching back and assumed I must have slept at a funny angle, but as the day has gone on it's got worse and I can't stand up straight now, I've tried rubbing it and having a soak in a hot bath but neither has made a difference I swear something is trying to tell me not to go back to work Monday

I only wish I knew!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh you poor thing cupcake, maybe I'm getting sympathy pains with you preggo ladies as I spend so much time chatting to you all xxxx

 

[cupcake1981]

Lol maybe, my friend at work keeps getting heartburn and being really hungry, she's getting all the symptoms I'm not!

I'm wondering if I can persuade work to get me one of these.....

That looks and sounds brilliant, if work wont buy you one is it worth you buying it then take it home with you when you go on ml?

 

[cupcake1981]

I'm hoping they'll pay for it and just keep it after, someone else will need it sooner or later, but I'm not sure if even a gym ball will ease the pressure on my coccyx! Need to try and gym ball out somewhere!

 

[MrsDuck]

Or a space hopper haha x

I wish I knew about backache too mrs d, my back and coccyx are so achey at the mo coz I'm having to sleep on my back every night (ironic after months of not being able to sleep on my back at all). The only thing that ever helps me is my hot water bottle.

Cupcake that chair looks awesome!! I want one!

Hi ttc

 

[MrsDuck]

I didnt realise you had to sleep on your back after a c section, why cant you sleep on your side or is it just because of the pain? Are you planning on going anywhere nice tomorrow if you do feel up to venturing out? xx

ttc x

 

[baileybubs]

It's just the pain, I keep trying to lie on my sides but the weight rests funny and makes me ache.

Think we'd just take a walk out with Emilia and bailey, see how far I can get lol

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw you poor thing, it's never ending x

That will be nice, I hope the weather is good for you. After a c section are you encouraged to try and exercise, or should you try and rest as much as possible? x

 

[baileybubs]

It's an odd combination of the 2, they want you to move around to keep good circulation and avoid blood clots, and apparently the sooner you try to move around the easier it is for your muscles to get back to normal. But on the other hand I'm not allowed to do housework, lift anything, walk too far. It's weird, they keep telling me to take it easy but make sure I'm moving about lol!

[baileybubs]

Morning ladies,

Hey Cheryl I hope you managed to get back to sleep. I had that with my hands too, it was like really bad pins and needles and then my joints went stiff too from the swelling.

I'm currently awake with Millie while df is fast asleep still! She's been really good overnight but she's not pooped since yesterday morning now

 

[CherylC3]

Awhun my friends little one was only pooing every 5 days up until she was 7 wks. Hope she gets into a routine... Just let ur health visitor kno. X

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah she doesn't seem to be in any pain or discomfort just yet so I'm hoping she goes soon. I can see her trying to poop though bless her. She's gone back to sleep now.
We've got a doctors appt on Monday to register her so I'll mention it then if she's still not been.

Did you get much sleep in the end?

 

[CherylC3]

I got back to sleep but still up for about 5 toilet trips.. Going to head out with my mum again to the supermarket see if gravity will help lol..x

Oh my brothers fiancée had they're baby yest by planned section but there first was a section too and she's only 15 months, they told her cos she didn't give her body time to heal she was one day away from her scar rupturing and bleeding internally so I think no more babies for them... My brother was a mess too cos it was in brazil he can spk the language but all the drs looked so worried and was talking so quickly it really panicked him..x

 

[baileybubs]

Oh I bet he was petrified! Poor thing! Are mum and baby ok now though?
That's the kind of thing that scares me about having a c section, whether it will affect having more kids.
