Victoria Beckham suffering from slip disc

The 37-year-old fashion designer suffered the injury while she was pregnant with newborn daughter Harper and has been in so much pain that she gets husband David Beckham hold the baby while she breastfeeds, reported Contactmusic.

"She was suffering with a bad back throughout her pregnancy, and then something untoward happened in the C-section, badly aggravating it. She has had an X-ray which showed she has slipped a disc in her lower back.

"Victoria is in a lot of pain and even struggling to hold Harper. When she goes to breastfeed, David has to basically prop-up the baby," a source said.

Victoria is also upset of not being able to play with her new born daughter.

"She is really down about the whole thing as she just wants to be able to play with her daughter like any new mum. But Victoria is trying to remain upbeat because she really does feel so blessed with the birth of her beautiful daughter. She is determined not to let this injury overshadow the happiness surrounding Harper's arrival," the source added.
