Hi all! I presume this may have come up before so i apologise if this is a common question but after having my 3rd healthy happy baby boy in june this year i cant get back to being myself. I feel like ive spent half my time in the gp's office and im only coming away with painkillers. My pregnancies have all been rubbish in that it took everything out of me; increasing severities of spd, gestational diabetes, sickness all day and night for the entire 9 months. With my last, i ended up on insulin injections 3 times a day and was housebound by the end of it with the spd. After having 3 larger babies, i came away with quite a large diverification and a slipping vertebrae which when put together make for a miserable life and back pain like you wouldnt believe. Ive also missed two menstrual cycles since then which has NEVER happened before. I guess what im saying is i feel like shit, like i did with both babies before but i ended up getting better a lot quicker than i seem to be doing this time. Has anybody else experienced this or can anyone tell me at least that its not just in my head?tia
