PP Knee Pain

Posting on 3-6 as well. 

I've had bad knee pain ever since I came home from the hospital, and I'm 10 weeks PP.  It's worse in the morning, they feel stiff and it is uncomfortable walking down the stairs.  I have trouble getting up from the couch, or from sitting on the floor.  I was in great shape before and worked out every day.  Now I'm lucky if I go to the gym once a week.  I did gain 55 pounds and have only lost 30 so far - not sure if that has something to do with it?  I read somewhere that your joints get funky before/after pregnancy but I'm curious how many of you ladies experienced this, and if so, when it went away.

    Mine were bad while I was pregnant I thought it would go away pp but it hasn't. I still have a hard time squatting down and getting up. I thought it was the weight but I am back to pre pregnancy weight.

    Yup, I have noticed that too. Probably the extra weight during and after pregnancy, an loosening of ligaments and joints that they say goes on. Feels like we need to be mindful and careful of the weakness to avoid injuries. Good luck!

    Me too. Same as you, worked out before and during pregnancy and only gained 23 pounds, so I don't think that has anything to do with it. I figured the majority of the pain comes from getting up from a seated position while holding my daughter and squatting to reach things while holding her. I'm pretty much doing daily lunges while holding a growing baby. She was over eight pounds at birth and is now almost eleven pounds at 7 weeks.
