Any singers out there?

Or wind instrument players...question for you.  Does your diaphragm get stretched out during pregnancy? Or just out of shape?  I am 7 weeks postpartum and I feel like I have no breath support whatsoever!  I remember this a little bit with my older daughter, but not to this extent.  Maybe the second pregnancy just makes it worse or maybe it will just take more time.  Anyone else experience this??

I'm a singer! I just had my first LO 10 weeks ago and am also experiencing this... I was thinking its because I am just super out of shape! Was teaching a voice lesson last week for the first time in a while and as we were going through the breathing exercises, I found myself more exhausted than my student! Very frustrating but hopefully all will be back to normal again soon! Good luck to you!!

Ok, thanks!  I'm sorry you are going through it too, but I'm glad I'm not the only one  I have Christmas concerts coming up and I feel like I can't sustain any long notes!  Musician problems!
