The singer and designer is fine now, but Beckham says the former Spice Girl suffered a slipped disc in her lower back after delivering her daughter Harper via C-section three months ago.

The 36-year-old midfielder for the Los Angeles Galaxy told reporters at the launch party for his new fragrance, Homme, that Victoria was in such pain, she couldn't hold her newborn and had trouble feeding her.

People magazine reports that Victoria Beckham, 37, seemed fine when she was at Fashion Week in New York earlier this month. She was seen holding Harper and walking around in heels.

The Beckhams have been married since 1999. They also have three sons.
