I’m living with Post Partem Coccydynia as a result of 12+ hrs of labour AND baby’s head being positioned at the tailbone region for a really long time.

Someone should’ve warned me about THIS because it hurts like hell. The pain is so excruciating that i am not able to enjoy the moments with my baby.

I wanna know if anyone else is suffering from the same and if you’ve found solutions?

I’m a mom to a 3 week old baby boy.

Came to India from abroad 3 days back and the whole routine of both of us shifted to the worst🥲.

My mental health and physical ailments are not helping at all.

FTMs, how are you guys managing it with a newborn?!

She started this practice just 3 days before! Comfort sucking to sleep, which also doesn’t last half an hour😭.

Should i introduce a pacifier? If yes, which brands are good?

Comfort sucking is messing with my sleep as well as his, he’s getting really fussy and agitated if i refuse my nipple🙁.

He also just spits half the milk he drank, so he’s clearly nor hungry at all😭

Never in my life did i expect to end up with this “rare” (as said by doctors) complication post-partem. I wish i had better answers to why and how did this happen, along with a solution to get rid of this😭😭😭.

I’m a 26y old FTM to a beautiful baby boy, 18 days pp today.

My labour was induced on April 30th noon, dilated 4cm the next day morning, shifted to labour room, got my epidural a few hours after, and finally gave birth vaginally on May 1 @ 9:30pm.

The discomfort at the tail bone region was already happenjng from the labour room, even after having the epidural. And it’s still part of my life to this day.

Can’t sit without a donut pillow, which also isn’t much of a help. Can’t lie down flat on my back. I only feed my baby lying down to the left / right side.

I’m mentally in a bad spot due to this. The doctors said it’s due to the long labour (12+ hrs) and also due to the baby’s head staying at the tail bone region for a long time.

I want this to go away.

I want to enjoy motherhood like the rest of the women.

Right now, i need someone to relate this to😭, cuz no one around me has ever heard of such a thing, not even my mother.

I’m a FTM to a 2 week old baby boy.

I can’t put into words how EXHAUSTING everything is, even with my husband and family for support 24/7.

I decided to combo feed my baby since day 2, after the maid who was hired for my postpartum care advised me to do so for the sake of my mental health + due to my stitches and severe coccydynia pain.

All i wanted was for my baby to be fed and happy AND for me to rest; and that became possible through combo feeding.

I feed her formula only at night (usually my husband/mom does), rest of the time, it’s breastfeeding.

Is anyone else doing the same as me? Does this make me a bad mom?

Hi all.

26 yr old FTM to a beautiful 12 day old baby boy, here 👋🏻.

12 days post partum, my baby’s face lights up my heart like nothing else!🥹

Ofcourse i am going through a bad phase right now (maybe it’s ppd, maybe it’s baby blues; i have no idea) even though i have my loving and supportive husband, mom and siblings around me 24/7.

I had an induced labour that lasted for 12+ hrs, took epidural and was able to deliver vaginally with no major complications (or so i thought).

Once the epidural started to wear off, the tail bone pain (coccydynia) caught up, along with very bad pelvic pain+SPD pain.

I can’t sit for too long.

I can’t lie down flat on my bed, not at all!

Walking is not bad.

I’m currently feeding my baby and sleeping by lying onto the left / right side.

I HATE THIS!

I thought i won’t be able to handle labour, i did.

I feared the epidural needle, i calmly handled it.

The episiotomy stitches, i handled it.

But never in my life i thought that I would succumb to such a horrible pain that doesn’t allow me to hold my baby, play with him, make memories with him😭😭😭.

It’s already gonna be 2 weeks of him and i feel i have missed so many good moments with him, just because my mind is completely occupied with the pain.

Anyone else in the same boat as me?

I don’t know how to begin.

Can’t hold my baby by sitting.

Can’t turn from one side to other on bed without spending extended minutes managing the pain.

Can’t lay down on my back.

Can’t sit without a donut pillow.

Only 7 days since the birth of my beautiful baby but it seems like I’m failing to enjoy every second of it due to my horrible post partum issues.

The tail bone pain / swelling / inflammation/ whatever that is happening there seems to spread to both of my buttocks.

SPD pain was there since 2nd trimester but never thought it’d follow me to post partum😭.

Doing lots of walking + yoga ball right now in hospital room with pessary induction.

I am devastated to know that i not dilated AT ALL!😭

I mean … i don’t have much hope left.

No pain or anything till now. It’s been 4 hrs!

Cervix isn’t even opened 🫤. The insertion was friggin’ painful, God!😣

Now it’s waiting time, 24hrs.

Will i get contractions? What to expect now?

They asked me to lie down for 1 hr.

39+1w FTM here.

I’m living abroad, scheduled for Induction of Labour within 2 hrs actually 😭.

I’m lost. Like, totally.

This was unexpected and now things look uncertain for me.

I educated myself on normal labour and c section. But induction was something i didn’t even read anything about. All i know is it can lead to c section 🥲.

Can u guys give me some advice? Anyone with positive induction stories?

Anything that i should know about?
