  It may have less to do with PP than it does with the hiatus from running and the additional weight. I'm still running a couple times a week and even when I was early in my 2nd trimester, I could tell that the additional weight and changes in my hips made my step different. If you think about slight changes in high repetition exercises, like running, those slight changes can make a big difference over the course of a run. Take it easy and don't expect too much from your body too soon. It's been through a lot and it'll take some TLC for those joints to be back in gear.

  Also, I whole-heartedly agree with PP on making sure your shoes are good to go. If your feet changed or the shoes were used a lot, you may need to get a fresh pair! Good luck!

  It's probably a combo of the extra weight and the ligaments being loose from pregnancy hormones.

  I had the same problem. I too thought it was because I was heavier and had not run for quite some time. It turns out that my meniscus was torn in 2 places! I suggest heading to the doctor if this does not resolve after a few weeks to a month. I ended up having surgery and I am doing great now. Just a frustrating set-back.
