Postpartum Aches and Pains
Anyone else having really achy joints and muscles postpartum? Particularly for me, my lower back, pelvis/pubic bone, leg muscles and knees are SO sore/achy, and I had my baby via c-section early January so the soreness in my pelvis doesn’t exactly make sense. I still feel as though I’m pregnant having those last trimester pains! My incision is healing well and properly but still expectedly tender. I’ve been stretching mornings and nights, and doing warm showers which helps some. Just wondering if anyone else feels like this!

You may have some imbalances from pregnancy- I know I do! I will be heading to physical therapy after a month or so. Also, make sure you use good form when lifting and moving. After my first pregnancy I had a lot of hip and back pain due to poor posture and form when lifting things like the car seat and the baby
I’m still taking my prenatals and I notice when I forget to take them I feel achy and sore. Def talk with your doc about it.. could be more than a nutrition thing

I know I personally get achy knees/legs when I don’t get enough sleep 😅 that and “nursing neck” which is the tightness/soreness/tension in my neck, shoulders, and upper back from leaving over and nursing all the time. Maybe try some magnesium supplements and/or lotion for your achy joints! I’ve heard it can help a lot
