back pain after lifting kids is killing me
Quote from bright2005 on August 22, 2020, 4:49 pmmy back is screaming after toddler duty. picked up leo and mia at the same time yesterday around 7pm. they were fighting over a toy at the pw superstore. leo is getting heavy like 25lbs now. mia is almost 20. tried to hold them both in my arms while looking for diapers. felt a pop in my lower back. now every step hurts. cant sleep on my side. slept on the couch last night because my husband snorts. took panadone but did nothing. just want to lay down. my mom says stretch more but i have no time. she works late. i am so tired of this pain. does anyone have tips for lifting two small kids without destroying my spine. pls help

Quote from Crimsontavern on September 25, 2020, 3:03 amSame here basically. Just moved for my husbands deployment this month. Doc says labs are perfect but i am dragging all day. I ended up checking my iron and vits too. Low iron was part of it. Also just standard military life burnout. Try adding straight iron supplements if you havent. Helps a bit at least until we settle in new base housing. Good luck

Quote from Moonstepping on August 5, 2020, 7:04 amSame. I feel like I’m running on fumes mostly. I’ve started drinking way more water and forcing myself to put my phone away an hour before bed. It helps a bit but honestly I think it’s just burnout from work and life in general. I’m not even that old yet but I definitely feel it in my bones lol.

Quote from grace1998 on May 27, 2021, 4:12 pmSame. After the kids hit toddlerhood it vanished. Husband thinks we just forget. I start chores so he sleeps. Honestly cant be bothered explaining again. We touch but thats it. My auntie says wait til they leave home. I just nod. Feel like roommates who share dna. Maybe thats normal now. Just tired.

Quote from charlotte1973 on May 27, 2021, 4:12 pmhaha same energy. my hips are basically jelly right now after that hot yoga sesh. i just lie on the couch in a fetal position and scroll reddit until the ache goes away. zero zen achieved today. just pure regret and ibuprofen. honestly if anyone tries to talk mindfulness to me rn im gonna scream. send snacks not solutions.

Quote from Craftqueen on August 14, 2021, 9:50 amhonestly same here. I swear, i’m twenty eight and honestly just so done with the performance aspect of it all. some nights i’d rather just cuddle or sleep. it’s not that i don’t love my partner but the pressure to be excited is exhausting. i feel like i’m constantly thinking about what’s next instead of just being in the moment. is everyone else this checked out or am i just crazy

Quote from Redrose1987 on August 11, 2021, 3:16 amman i feel this so hard. my partner is the same way. its exhausting. i literally start withdrawing if its just about finishing. i tell him straight up that if he wants cuddling just ask for it separately. its not my job to assume hes cuddly after. i need connection not just release. its so tiring to have to manage his emotions around intimacy too.

Quote from bluffsummit on September 29, 2021, 4:04 pmI dont even try anymore. Ngl, After watching my grandkids all day im drained. I used to feel guilty but now i just stretch in the living room while watching TV. Its enough movement for me honestly. If they are napping i might do some light yoga but thats it. Total surrender to the couch is the best plan.
