Wondering how common back problems are after c section? Is this likely or just horror stories I’m hearing from the minority of bad experience’s?

I was originally in December 2024 babies, but my little boy decided to appear early today! Due December 5th but came 2 weeks early🥰 After 20 hours of labour my beautiful boy is here!🩵

midwife appointment was yesterday and she said baby is at 90th percentile. I asked her if baby is measuring big she said yes but she isn’t worried at this point. At what point do they say ok baby is becoming big need to talk about induction etc?? What percentile is your baby?

Me with my 4 girls, would have had 5 girls but one passed away, at 1 year 4 months and finally 6th a boy baking 🤰🏾😅

Not sure what I’m going to gain from this but hoping someone may be in the same boat, I’m 19+3 and since 2 nights ago I have been bleeding during the night.
