So my pelvis KILLLSSSSS when I walk and move because my relaxin hormone is doing it's job SO well apparently. So I'm wondering does this go right away after the baby is born ?
Dido about carpal tunnel/swollen hands.
I know they will both go away eventually but does that mean months, weeks, days, or minutes! ? lol
Re: PLEASE tell me this goes away right after the birth...
It depends on the severity really. For some women it goes away pretty much immediately, for others it doesn't.
Last time I had SPD and it took several weeks to maybe 2 months for my pelvis to feel better. Some women who have it end up in physical therapy for a year+ to try to correct the problems.
So it's really just different for everyone. No reason to expect it won't resolve itself quickly though considering for most people it's not an issue.

I'm not sure but I do know that relaxin stays present throughout breastfeeding too. (I read that in a book, so that's assuming the book was right)

I hear ya on that one, I don't remember having this issue with DD, but every pregnancy is different and by far this one is so different.
I didn't have the carpal tunnel, but I did have hip/pelvis pain. Your body has a lot of work to do to shift in order to make room for baby, and that eventually has to shift it's way back. For me, it was a long road of lower back and hip pain, and many of trips to the chiropractor.
I was still flabby as hell as giving birth to DS (I gained 70+ pounds, and a lot of that was water retention) but the swelling mostly went down the next day. But, as per PP, everyone is different.
It got much better but it didn't go away. I still had to sleep with a pillow between my legs for like a year.
