How did your body cope during post partum?
My body is so sore from carrying my baby and doing things with her. She's 6 months now and think going onto 8kgs. My right arm is sore. Last night my whole arm was painting. My feet are so sore. My back is sore. Feels like my body is giving in. Anyone else experiencing this? Honestly too tired to stretch or exercise.

Yeahhhh I got a lot of massages in that first year. Like every 3-4w massages. That helped, SO much. Foot and back massages are my saviour. My back was killing me. I think it stopped after about 18m. Hubby would give me a back a foot massage sometimes too mainly foot rubs coz he can do that watching tv lol
I made that saying "sleep when baby sleeps" a reality. I did a stretch of 3 hour sleeps w bub because without that I'd have gone insane and my body would have had it.

My daughter is 22 lbs at 9 months so it’s been hard carrying her around and I also have a 3.5 yo son. And they are both home with me, so it gets a little crazy. I hurt my lower back while changing my daughter and also my shoulders were killing me due to feeding. What helped me was physio and some tricks and exercises they showed me. My pain went away mostly on the first visit. Perhaps try that and the postnatal massages
