Postpartum pains
I’m 8 weeks pp and the past few days been experiencing awful pains in my joints and muscles, currently making it really painful when picking up or carrying my LO.
It is mostly in my hands and knees and have read it can be linked to hormones possibly?? Any other mums experiencing this at all? Wondering how normal it is or if I should see a GP. Thanks in advance 🙂

I’m sadly in the same boat! It’s been awful, my joints especially hands, knees and ankles hurt so bad. I find it hard to even go up and down the stairs. I have tried doing some stretching exercises and in addition to continuing my prenatal vitamins, i have bought specifically calcium ones and those have helped. Also with time i think it gets better
This is me also at 8 weeks pp. I’ve liaised with physio to get exercises but it is a case of time to wait for the hormones to re balance but I have also started taking collagen so hoping that helps in time.
Thanks all .. good to know it is ‘normal’ hopefully it settles down for us all soon. I think I’ll look into supplements as well to help

Hey! I am experiencing the same! I thought it might have been from the awkward positions i find myself sleeping/feeding, or the carpal tunnel syndrome i have had from the 7th month of pregnancy. But interestingly to find out others go through the same thing. Might be hormones i guess, everything you have these days it’s linked one way or another to hormones..or so they will say.
