Back issues and TTC

Jenna • Married 10-17-2015. Boy Mom. Dog Mom.

We have been trying for a few months now and today my back pain has landed me in bed. Which is the first time in months.

My husband and I went to the gym this morning, stopped at the store on the way home but when we got home and finished eating, I was unable to get up from the couch; the pain was unbearable!

My husband started a warm Eason salt bath for me and helped me get in the tub. After I got out of the tub, I tried to start my meal prep for the week and couldn’t bend or hardly move my feet without a good deal of pain.

I couldn’t even get into bed without his help and still then it was horribly painful.

I broke down crying saying “Maybe we should stop trying for a baby. I’m scared, what if I really messed my back up and I’m back to square one.”

My DH looked at me and reassured me that I’ll be okay, I just need to give my body a few days to relax.

If there are any ladies out there who have Spondylolisthesis, degenerated discs, and/or spondylosis and have been pregnant, can you please share your experience? What helped while you were pregnant? Any tips or advice?
