Any experience with post partum pelvic pain?

Has anyone experienced pelvic pain after birth? I had pretty severe SPD during my pregnancy and now my lower abdomen, my pubic bone, my hips and my lower back are so sore that I'm having a hard time getting around. I assume it will go away with time, I just don't remember being this sore for so long last time, which is surprising because my labor and delivery was better this time than last.

    When was your ds born again? I remember being sore for like 2 weeks after my delivery , to the point where I needed DH to bring me the baby because I couldn't get off the couch without help and I had to sit on the boppy. I'm sure it'll go away soon but talk to your dr and take warm baths to ease it .

    I had bad SPD with my first and I am scared to death of it happening again this time.  After my delivery, I finally went back into my OB around 6 months postpartum because it was still painful.  I ended up going to physical therapy for a few months, but then the physical therapist recommended a deep tissue massage.  I ended up doing 2 rounds of massage and it was extremely painful, but the pain finally went away after that.

    If I do end up getting it in this pregnancy, I will probably just go ahead and schedule massages probably after my 6 week checkup.

    DS was born a little over 2 weeks ago so I am sure I am still recovering. Thanks for the recommendations! I will try some baths and call my midwife and see if she has any suggestions. I had it with my last pregnancy but I am wondering if not having to chase a toddler around while I was recovering made my recovery a little bit easier!

    I didn't have SPD, but I agree that you should look into physical therapy if you think the pain is related to that. It can do wonders!

    I still have it, and Amelia is almost three months old.  Well, mine is solely contained to my back right now.  My back hurts so bad that I have a really hard time getting up from any seated or prone position.  I know its related to being pregnant two times so close together (and being overweight, too), and then having the c/s, and not having any stomach muscles, but when I try to do core strengthening exercises, it makes my back hurt worse.  I can't tell, should I push through the pain because I need stomach muscles, or is my back hurting because I keep pushing through the pain. :(

    I had pelvic pain for over a year PP. It eventually went away on its own.
