After giving birth to my second child, I expected sleepless nights and exhaustion. What I did not expect was the intense lower back pain that followed me everywhere. It started as a mild ache a few days after delivery, but within two weeks it became a constant burden.
Sitting for long while breastfeeding felt unbearable. Standing up after bending over my baby’s crib required effort. Even turning in bed at night made me wince.
At first, I thought it was normal and would go away on its own. Many women told me postpartum pain is part of motherhood.
But as days passed, the discomfort did not improve. Instead, it began affecting my mood. I felt drained and irritable, not because of my baby, but because my body felt weak and unsupported. During pregnancy, my body had changed completely. My posture shifted forward.
My abdominal muscles stretched. After delivery, I realized I no longer had the same strength in my core, and my lower back was carrying the extra load. I tried warm compresses and mild pain relievers, but I wanted a solution that would help me heal deeply, not just mask the pain.
