Achy/sore legs???

[alexv123]

Hello, I am 5 weeks postpartum and have had such achy/sore legs (mostly lower leg) I find it such a struggle getting up if I'm sat on the floor etc, has anyone else experienced this? They don't seem swollen or anything.

Hi OP! Please get a massage done. It’s very important for new mums to get it done regularly. I started to get one at around 4-5 weeks PP as well. And I used to get it done every other week. You can get weekly or even daily done if you want and can afford.

there are specially trained women / masseuses for post partum massages.

hope you feel better soon ❤️

Yep I had similar too, GP said it was the relaxin hormone still going around making the muscles weaker / easier to damage. It gets easier!
