Sciatica: It is very likely you have sciatica. The sciatic nerve can be irritated with carrying a baby, birthing a baby and breastfeeding a baby as you carry it around in your arms. Furthermore the relative weakness of your ab muscles after childbirth contributes. Recommend tylenol, (acetaminophen) exercise and ab strengthening. Might want to check with a pt or your doc first.
