Yep I did have an epidural I didn't think that could be the cause but makes sense and I know it wasn't done well as I only got a partial block so I could feel half my uterus and lift one leg so I still needed to use the gas! When he did it I remember him saying he needed to put it in a different spot to normal as my anatomy is different? Have no idea how he could tell by looking at my back!

However I had back pain while I was pregnant so that was before the epidural.

I asked my ob about my stomach muscles at my 8 week check and he said they were good but sure didn't feel like it. He did an ultrasound to look on the inside too
