i had a baby 3 days ago, my 4th so im under no illusions i would bounce back, but this pain is awful! i had a pretty traunmatic labour lasting 3 days with active labour lasting only 9 minutes. all my contractions were felt in my back. since having him though my back has been very painful still. i get sharp shooting pains that start in my lower back and travel up towards my head. sometimes cauising headaches. it feels like im being elcetircuated and when it happens i cant move!

my midwife told me it was sciatica, but i dont get pain in my legs so im not sure it is. what is it please?
