How do you feel?

Question

So I gave birth near the end of January and I am 5 months pp. I had a 3rd degree tear and my legs swelled up so bad and I had a lot of pain after. Well fast forward to now and I still just don’t feel well. My body still hurts and I feel run down. I constantly have to pee... my bladder just isn’t the same anymore. I was suppose to do therapy, but with Covid that didn’t happen. Things just don’t feel right... I mean yeah I just had a baby come out of me 5 months ago, but should I still be feeling this way? Am I taking longer to heal cuz I am almost 35? How are you feeling ?

Answer

Good luck, happy healing. If you aren’t taking magnesium, try that too. It’ll help you relax and eases muscle strain/pain. Good call on kegels, should help strengthen your pelvic floor. Bounce back can take a while, you’ll get there! I was 41 when I had my little one, things are taking longer than I’d like...I’m stretching, going for walks, maintaining a nutritious diet.

I'm also 5 months pp after my second babe and just now starting to feel somewhat normal. I'm turning 34 so not that young either. I started pelvic floor physical therapy about 6 weeks ago (sunny side up baby, 2nd degree tears, placenta that didn't want to come out)  and that has been helping things get back into place for me. I've realized how important core strength is for everything to function correctly, but if you have diastasis, prolapse, or other pelvic floor dysfunction, traditional core exercises like situps aren't necessarily safe. Everything is starting to feel much more stable now that my core is stronger again. 
There are some really good online programs out there if you're still waiting to get into PT but need to do something. I've heard really good things about Dr. Sarah Duvall's programs, as well as one called Hab It and another called Popfit. Femfusion Fitness on YouTube has lots of videos and workouts on how to build strength safely.

Happened to me too. It took me 4 months to feel better but my bladder is still problematic. I'm 37. Give it some time. Eat healthy and exercise. All the best.

Answer

I'm only 24 and sometime I go to lay down and I feel I have to pee, wake up go to pee and lay back down and literally 2 mins later go to pee again. Sometimes happens at least 6 times in a row no joke. 
Also don't feel completely normal down there like off from the birth.
I talked to my OB about it she said that these things are normal!
