Epidural Site

[Antheia]

The spot there i had my epidural has a pressure feeling when i walk and if someone touches it, it is very tender. My whole back just feels weird but could also be i pulled a few mucsles while pushing. My midwife said its normal, but just wondering if anyone else felt this?

Yep Tegan it can be very tender afterwards. Remember there was a whopping great needle in there only yesterday, so it will tak a while to recover.

BTW Charlie is a cutie

Yup Tegan, I agree with Sarah. PLus your body is going to have some aches as you have only just pushed out a pretty big bub hun, giving birth uses up muscles you never knew you had

Charlie is gorgeous too

Yeah - and I think mine came up in a big bruise a couple of days later too.
Charlie is a cutie - don't they look so tiny in the car seat for the first time?

I was the same too Tegan, when i had my epidural wih Nick i ended up with a bruise that took over half of my back it was really sore
I hope it settles for you soon
Charlie is gorgeous by the way!
You did a great job hun, you should be really proud of yourself!

Thanks for the reassurance. It feels a bit better today.

He doe slook really tiny in his car seat. Also even though he's a pretty big bub, all his clothes we bought are miles too big! Even the 0000 are a little big.
