Does anyone else feel like they’ve not fully recovered from birth yet?

I had a natural birth with episiotomy (same as with my first) but this time round I feel like my body is really struggling to bounce back. I wake up in the mornings and everything aches!

I feel like that's having kids lol. In all seriousness I struggled this time a bit (I had an episiotomy and tear first time and c section this time.) However 2nd time round I dont know if it's because I'm older or having more than one is what's had the effect but I agree things hurt x

Had a c section and I feel like I only just had surgery, despite it being more than 4 months ago.

I’m exhausted lol

I had a c-section and I feel so broken. My back is a mess, my strength is gone. I was expecting a bit of a physical setback, but I wasn’t really prepared for how utterly fucked I would feel (in a bad way).

I think it’s the sheer exhaustion. I’m so burnt out feel like I haven’t caught a break since baby girl was born in August. It’s none stop and if ur baby is waking through the night you’re probably sleep deprived too.

Same here girl 👋 my back hasn’t been the same since 😅

Yes!! My pelvis and back still ache🥲

For me it feels like it takes longer to recover with each baby this is number four for me and it is definitely taking longer, thinking it is a combination of number of babies and obviously I am older than I was with number one. With second plus babies there is more to juggle physically and mentally and even less chance of a five minute break.
