Normal or Not?

Question

I’m just over 9 weeks pp and am feeling a lot better than I was but I am having pain in the tops of my legs and when I go up and down stairs they shake,I have to get my husband to take the baby up stairs because I’m worried my legs will go from under me and when I walk in general it’s slow and no matter how hard I try I can not speed up,is that normal?  Tia

Answer

Have you had your iron levels checked? I had the same issue your describing and I distinctly remembered thinking I’d drop my baby going up the stairs. I too had my husband carry my baby much of the time. I was anemic and taking iron supplements really helped me! Maybe that might be your issue too?
