Post-Baby Body

[alias]

I'm not talking about this saggy belly.  But, my body is falling apart.  I'm pretty sure I have planter fascitis (sp?) ever since having a baby.  I'm pretty sure ilovebed had/has that too.  It's annoying, but manageable.  But, I've had this stabbing knee pain when I go up/down stairs or press the gas/brake ever since E was born and it's getting worse.  Like, it was REALLY painful today and it gave up walking up stairs.  Anyone else have this?  Google says it's a common post-partum issue.  Did anything help.

I have this and it cured my PF after about a week. I bought two. One for home and one for work and I use is multiple times a day. I tried a night splint and stretching and nothing helped. I even got a cortisone shot. All hail the foot roller.

Im falling apart too! I feel like my bladder is going to fall out of my vagina bc my pelvic floor was so badly damaged.

I had TERRIBLE back pain for months after the baby. I don't know if it was from the spinal before my CS or bad core strength + extra weight. It went away at maybe 10-12 months? And, my belly button is wrecked. During pregnancy it became an outie, and now it goes back and forth between innie and outie. When I cough it pops out. GROSS!

Lol at your bellybutton stretch! I've had an outie all my life!

My pubic bone hurts if I sleep on one side too long.

I get weird stabby foot pains, too! In my right foot. Which also has portions where I have no feeling following labor and delivery. The universe is a cruel place.

Plantar fasciaitis (stretching and using a tennis ball helped), vision changes, endometriosis (resulting from c/s) and other cs-related pain.
