Also... I thought it would be a good idea to get some high-waisted jeans because A) the younguns are wearing them and B) I figured the high waist would help bring in my mom pooch. Turns out mom jeans only look good on people who are not moms 🤦♀️
aches, pains, creaks and groans 👵🏻
9m pp and i never expected that my body would be like this.
i don’t just mean my weight/figure (forget about it! 😩), i’m talking about the toll this whole thing has taken on me.
my knees are awful, my pelvis and lower back clunk and pop all the time since having SPD whilst pregnant, my shoulder is sore half the time. these things are made worse by the fact i’m 30lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight, and i can’t do what i would normally do to lose weight (running and kettlebells) because i hurt so much!
anyone else just feel like their bodies are broken? 😞

I am very fortunate that I am feeling better than I was. I’ve always had lower back problems but everything was heightened after baby. Everything from pain in my feet and ankles, every joint seemed to crack any time I moved, and even numbness in my fingers, backs of my hands, and feet. It’s not 100% better yet, but I’m definitely feeling a difference. I’ve been going to the chiropractor and trying to fit in some yoga a few times a week. There are tons of free videos on YouTube.
Oh my god this is me! I thought I was the only one!!! Ugh, thank god you posted this! Ive been feeling down on my body all day, and I couldn’t give a toot about the “baby body,” I just want to be able to bend again! I also had SPD, and SI joint problems, bad Diastasis Recti. After giving birth I got snapping hip and a Hip labral tear. It’s awful; someone I read said it took 2.5 years for things to adjust to a new normal. So, your body doesn’t go back to the way it was, it just better adjusts for what you have now. 😩

i never heard about SI joint problems until recently, and i totally think that’s my problem! i got told i had spd when pregnant so kinda just accepted it and got on with it. i didn’t realise i would still have problems after giving birth! no one told me!
