Is back pain every day normal?

Question

I just had a baby 5 months ago but my back is destroyed. Out of nowhere like a month ago it gave out then it gave out again days later And since then it gets stiff and hurts when I’m doing every day tasks. I can’t even hold my baby long, stand up to wash dishes and some days u can’t even walk. Should I see my doctor or is this normal every day after birth pain?

Answer

Is the pain only in your back? Or do you feel it in your hips and/or the front by your pubis bone? Since having my daughter I have struggled with SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction).  Basically it means that my pubis bone separated dramatically during labor.  It affects my back and makes it difficult to walk, stand longer than about 15 minutes, sit, get in and out of a car or bed, etc...

Answer

Im 6 weeks postpartum & just started having lower back pain, like my back is going to give out. I'm sure it's from poor posture while standing and soothing my son. I will be seeing the chiropractor this week, and a massage soon as well.

Answer

Not normal at all. I had a C-section and was walking around and doing everything with ease by about 7-10 days postpartum.
Had a friend with troubles similar to yours (vaginal birth), and her baby essentially pushed a disc out of place and she had to go to physiotherapy for it. She’s now 11 months postpartum and back to normal... she “toughed it out” for about 3 months before she couldn’t take the pain anymore.
