New “bump” on the back and severe back pain

Hi! Yesterday I noticed this “bump” on my lower back.

I am 29f, 7 months postpartum. We cosleep and my back pain (lower back pain) is horrid since pregnancy but I try to swim, do yoga etc and it usually helps. I skipped 2 weeks of training and now my pain is so severe I cant get up from bed or roll in the morning.It is pretty okay during the say, I take some ibuprofen and no issues during the day. However I am hypochondriac (on lexapro) and I am jumping to the worst conclusions…

And yesterday I noticed the circular thing on my back. My husband is saying he noticed that few months ago. Its soft feels like fat, but idk. Any idea what it is? Whats going on? 🫣and can it be related t my pain?

Thank you in advance!
I already messaged my gp but wanted to ask 🤍

Fitcheck Tula FTG

Hello its me again!

Firsr of all wanted to say thank you to everyone who told me my baby outgrowm his Ergobaby Embrace! I got us Tula FTG as recommended and he is not fighting it and his spine is curved immediately (had to “fight” him to get that position in Embrace recently and now I know why!) thank yall!

Now what can I do to make this better please? Width currently at middle setting. Baby is over 15 pounds, wears size 68/74. He was deeply asleep in these pics 😃 he has one hand that he constantly pulls in/to his face but I am not sure if thats the case here or if its too wide still 🤷‍♀️

Also, doest the fabric feels too thin to anyone else? 😃I like it a lot but after Embrace and trying Ergo 4 way that is rrally bulky I am worried how strong it is! 🫣

Thank you in advance!! 🤍

Fit check please - 6mo Ergobaby

Hi can you please give advice on how this looks? We used this carrier before and it was great but recently Ive been struggling with making sure he is in correct position.

Can you also recommend a follow up carrier once he outgrows this? (though I believe we have time with weight and height, our carrier is secondhand)

Thank you kindly!! 🩷

Edited: thank you all!! I ordered Tula FTG, I will post a fit check when it arrives! You are amazing!

First time sick

Hi. Our 5 month old is sick for the first time and I am so scared and worried.

He threw up yesterday evening and at night he got fever - over 38 degrees.
Doctor told us to just watch for now (fever started last night, called them in the morning) and give meds to lower it (luckily works and then he is again happy and active baby, but when fever returns he screams and cries). I wish I could take the pain away or help him. I nurse constantly and let him sleep as much as possible but I am so worried about night. I didnt sleep well as I was watching him and I know its not helping anyone that I dont sleep…

I just want him to be better and I feel like I failed him because this week we were out and about a lot! I dont know what I expect from this post just needed to vent I guess. Tell me it does get better please

I still can’t believe I can make this post. April 30 2025 was our transfer day. And today, exactly one year later, I am here with my 16 week old boy.

There is hope you guys 🤍✨

Sending all the baby dust to yall🌸🤞
