How are you feeling?

pinitbaby

Just thought I'd ask..its hard to believe a lot of us were dying to have our babies out this time last year because of the heat and now our LO's are mobile! :
How are you mama's feeling physically? I just found out I have osteoarthritis in my hips : its soo painful most days. My family Dr said its probably from carrying 4 pregnancies and my weight has always been an issue..which I'm working on but it doesn't happen overnight right?
Are you guys feeling back to normal? Anything standing out to you that you never had issues with before?

My hips are killing me too. What were your symptoms? I'm not sure if its from exercise or pregnancy.

I STILL have to take prescription Prilosec everyday otherwise I still get mad heartburn. I had heartburn with DS1, but it went away after he was born. Not this time, it seems to be here to stay. Lucky me.

The joints basically feel like they're grinding when I walk. The pain is like sciatic nerve you get in your back but it starts at the hip and radiates downwards. They couldn't do xrays when I was pregnant obviously and I still put it off after she was born, just got my results 2 weeks ago. He said I don't need surgery yet but I'm so scared I will need a hip replacement in 10 years when I'm 40.

I have a lot of lower back twinges and minor aches.  And also, I'm chronically fatigued.  So much so that when I do manage to get five or six straight hours of sleep (which isn't often), my body freaks the fluck out and I wake up more exhausted than I do when I get less sleep.  Weird. 

But despite all of that, I'm still glad I'm not pregnant!

I think this is what I'm dealing with today
I actually slept a little more last night but I'm so chronically sleep deprived I actually feel worse

Achy hips and lower back. And my feet go kind of numb after I've been laying flat for a while, like after getting out of bed. Also, I'm always tired.

Still terribly sleep deprived, and a bit crappy since I have not worked out in over 4 months!  The sleep deprivation finally got to me and I just have no motivation to work out any more!  It's sad since I was an almost daily exerciser for years and years.  So I just feel flabby all around now.

terrible back pain! i finally lost the baby weight plus one additional pound...im starting to look for work again and not full time work

I feel normal but fat and a wee sleep deprived. Overall much better than when I was pregnant, that's for sure.

My knees still hurt in occasion and for the past few months my back hurts when I lay down for bed. I am almost positive it's where I got my spinal for my csection.

Still taking stool softeners due to pain with harder BMs related to my tearing. Sucks.

I too have that wrist/thumb thing.  Not sure if it's from the way I hold babies, or bottles (maybe from tandem bottle feeding), but it's very painful.  Beyond that I'm overall ok.  However, when I have my period now, I get horrible cramps and back pains.  I never experienced that with a period before having babies.

Sorry to hear about your hips.  Hope you find relief soon.

The only difference is I can drink coffee in the AM and wine after dusk. LOL!

Wait, this is different?

 

You should come over.  I do all these things.

Does this not seem like a sick and twisted joke to you?

My husband will offer to take DS overnight, and I will wake up feeling shittier.  As a result, DH feels like his efforts were wasted, and he doesn't offer again for a while.

WTF, BODY?

Achy muscles/soreness around one part of my c-section incision. Fun times.

OMG, I am soooo thankful you said this.  I thought there was seriously something wrong with me.  My ankles and right foot especially feel like absolute crap and I look like a poor cripple.  My back doesn't hurt much but my right hip will be a stupid pain and I can't stand up straight.  I thought this was just me being an out of shape, still overweight moaner who is falling apart.  I swear a 90 year old can do better than me some days.

Yeah I keep wondering if I should get my feet checked out - through browsing online I can say that I've read other woman have had the foot issue - especially if they had lots of swelling (which I did) and some say it lasts forever - like 18 months - I think its the relaxin and the swelling and then coming back off the relaxin (though I'm still bfing so I'm not sure if I hae it or not) - but it SUCKS - people look at me all funny and everything
