Girls , I delivered in 11/14, I am having soreness in my pelvic area and sometimes it’s difficult to move and walk , I can’t lay on my side in bed because it’s so uncomfortable/painful. Are you ladies experience similar symptoms 1 week postpartum? If so when can I expect relief ?

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and my doctor told me that my baby is in the breech position. Have your babies flipped? Do you know when they flipped?
