[|Human|] Hi doctor , I have delivered a baby on 2009 nov. I m 28 now. It was normal with epidural . Is epidural having any side effects? I worried a lot about it. I put more weight now and I have back pain also. Before pregnancy i was 53 kg and now im 60. My height is 156cm. Still I m mother feeding my baby. Baby is 16 months old now. Soon going to stop feeding. Is it because of that I feel tired and weak? Is post delivery exercise useful to reduce tummy and back pain? I have irregular periods problem too. 35 days it will come. Some times it come after 50 days. -Priya.
[|AI|]  Hi, I can reassure you that epidurals do not cause backache or damage your back. It is common to suffer with some backache after having a baby. This is partly due to the ligaments supporting your back and pelvis become soft and are less effective at support these areas. Also, carrying a baby can put strain on your back. Nursing a baby can be very tiring and this is probably why you feel tired and weak. Post delivery exercises are a good way to get back in shape and improve your muscles which support your back and therefore reduce aches and pains. Chat Doctor.
