Pregnancy Info HOME

See your OB just in case there has been damage from having spinal block or epidural. It could just be that you are suffering achiness because of the fact you have a new baby and you're busy being a mum and working off the extra weight you gained during pregnancy. Another thing that ot could be down to is during pregnancy the body produces relaxin, a hormone which loosens joints and ligaments in preparation for childbirth and the opening of the pelvis. This makes injury, to joints and ligaments, more likely. Now you're postpartum your body is returning to normal, but this is a slow process, you're body has just been under immense pressure during pregnancy, give it time. But do see your OB/GYN just to put your mind at rest if nothing else. Best wishes and acspeedy recovery.
