When you doctor clears you, you can do core strength exercises. You might have diastasis recti which will have your back hurting. I had it after my twin pregnancy. It closed a little but I have it forever. My core strength is terrible. So yes, even after 7 years I still have back pain which gets worse with pregnancy.

I had a vaginal delivery of my boys, so I don't know how helpful my comment will be to you personally 😅 BUT, my body hurts for about 4 months before returning to mostly normal. Like my epidural sight would hurt any time I did too much work and my hips/back would hurt as well.

Mine didn’t go away until I was adjusted by a chiropractor.... BEST decision I ever ever ever made. He took x rays and it literally showed how unaligned my hips were and pelvis from this crazy pregnancy!!

I had an emergency csection at 36+6 too! I would say something to your doctor maybe. Have you had your 6w check up?

I don’t think you ever really go back to how you were pre-babies, but it can be manageable. I am generally pain-free but if I sleep in certain positions or sleep on a slightly uncomfortable bed, I get really bad back pain these days. I had my twins 2 years ago. Hopefully after the first few months you might start noticing some improvement, but definitely see a physio if your pain continues.

I got a crazy bad case of carpal tunnel after my twin delivery. I thought this was a joke before I had it. I thought I was going to have it forever but 3 months later it’s 95% gone, thank God! I don’t see why your pain won’t let up at some point now that you don’t have to carry all that around.

To be honest I'm 2 years out from a classical csection for our twins and I still have pain on a daily basis.
