Achy?

Anyone else feel just sore, even a week after giving birth?  My back hurts, my hips hurt, and my shoulders even ache. 

I'm wondering if the BFing/Pumping is the culprit, or what.  I tend to find myself contorting to make sure DS latches, and sometimes have to remind myself to unclench my shoulders halfway through.  Geez.  My undercarriage is healing nicely, but now the entire rest of me has started to hurt.  

Hmmmm... Any ideas?  Is this weird?

    I felt totally achy and sore for several weeks while my body was getting used to nursing positions and constantly holding an infant.

    It got worse for a while when I started nursing in bed in the side-lying position, until I figured out to put a pillow behind my back.

    Contorting yourself while nursing could totally be the culprit!  I had an LC come to my house b/c we were having so much trouble and she couldn't believe how awkwardly I sat while nursing.  I didn't even realize it b/c I was just focused on getting MJ to eat.

    yes! The way I was sitting BFing was totally my problem...my back was so tight it was causing pain down my legs. Once I realized it I started making an effort to have better posture and its gotten a lot better! Also carrying around a toddler probably makes it worse...at least it does for me. Hope you start to feel better soon!
