I think that because you don't really have core strength at the moment, your back is put under more strain? I was told that was at the route of mine. Mostly fine now though.

Feeding can also put strain on your back. Is your chair supportive, use a foot rest if you need it?

You could get yourself referred to a physio? They should be able to help.

Also....are you doing too much?

You might be doing too much OP?

C-section is major surgery and even 6 weeks is the minimum for recovery. Take it easy and see how you feel in a few days.
