Not that anyone cares but im going to force this on yous anyways

My midwife said the reason my sciatica is so bad and im so debilitated is because the baby is positioned against my spine 😫 she said shes refer me to a specialist for physical therapy or something but by the time id get my first appointment with them the baby will probably be here already. I should have mentioned this sooner and not at 36 weeks but i was trying not to be a complainer.

I had to get my baby adjusted to a different position twice by the chiropractor. She was sideways and then went back sideways after we thought she been spun head down.

It didn't work well for me but I think it was at 38 weeks you can get acupuncture to induce.

@Starcrossed oh thats awful. Did you eventually need a csection? Sometimes they say they baby will turn during labour

@DarkSideoftheMoon unfortunately I did, but she was head down. She had the cord around her neck 3 times she flipped around so much.

@Starcrossed bless her ❤️ hiw was your recovery?

@DarkSideoftheMoon eh... slow. It took all the 8 weeks I had off and I was still sore. It was my first surgery in my adult life and my recovery wasnt as easy as I had hoped or anticipated. I had some bad PPD/PPA, struggled with nursing and baby daddy was not a great partner the first few years of her life.

I wish I could look back with more joy but was kind of a dark time in my life. I feel in part my kid and I were robbed of some of our bonding experiences in the earliest years. My negative experience with her dad is why she doesn't have a sibling.

I can say one positive birth thing, I had bad SPD the last trimester and that went away immediately when she was born just like they said it would.
