Weak after birth?

C 💕

Did anyone else suddenly get super weak after giving birth?

I had no troubles carrying car seats or laundry up and down the stairs before or even during my pregnancy. I gave birth almost two months ago, and I still feel so weak!

I can hardly lift his car seat and I have to use both hands to carry it down to the car. I have to drag our laundry basket because I cant lift it too well. I have a hard time walking at all, but while I was pregnant I walked a ton and always took the stairs at work, no issue.

Did anyone else get super weak after having a child? Or just me? 😂 Hopefully my strength comes back soon, so I don’t have to keep asking his father for help everywhere we go 😂

Sometimes he even has to kinda hold me up when we go grocery shopping because after like 20 minutes of walking I get dizzy and my legs start to feel noodly so he puts one arm around me to hold me up or he’ll stand right behind me while I push the cart and he’ll put his arms over mine and kinda hold me up against the cart.

I thought about mentioning it to my doctor at my appointment next week and see what she thinks.
