I am due again in November of this year with my third. I will briefly have 3 under 3. It wasn’t planned to have another baby let alone this soon as my youngest is 9 months. I know women do it. I just don’t know how…
I don’t expect my body to just bounce back in any capacity. And I know that with each baby and pregnancy I have dedicated less time to working out and healthy eating habits. But what I didn’t expect to linger was the joint pain I have in my legs, especially my knees! They ache all the time. I realize my body has to adjust to pregnancy and carrying the weight of pregnancy and some weight gain that I haven’t lost. But I don’t ever remember my joints hurting this bad before. I plan to bring it up at my next ob appointment.
But I was just wondering if anyone else has felt this way or if you have had any physical therapy during and after pregnancy. I looked up diy stretches/exercises. But I just feel like an actual appointment would be more effective.

3 under 3 with my youngest at 2 months, I have PT scheduled for next month! I have been dealing with the same issues, joint pain and weight gain has been more than I had anticipated this time around and didn’t do PT during pregnancy (just walked and did stretches at home). Bring it up to your OB and see if they can refer you to PT whenever is appropriate for your situation.
