I have awful pain in my pubic bone from front to back. I’m 1 week postpartum and don’t remember this happening with my first. It hurts to walk, side step, lift a leg.
I’m breastfeeding so pain relief is minimal. Does anyone have any advice on what this can be or what I can do to ease the pain?

my midwife said sometimes pain in vaginal area/pubic area postpartum are caused by tiredness so if you’re sleep deprived (which i’m assuming you are 🤣) it can make the pains worse i sit on a hot water bottle; the heated seats in the car are also a life saver 🤣xxxx

I have this and sometimes it actually worries me. Its my pubic bone, pelvis and sometimes tummy/uterus.
Tomorrow, I'm asking the GP for a physio referral to get my pelvis checked/sorted.
I didn't have this with my first either but then I also didn't have Pelvis pain with my first

This was me last week, I was advised to take ibuprofen and paracetamol together to help with the pain. It helped a little, but you need to make less movement for the pain to subside. I feel much better this week. And remember our pelvic bones are still soft from the pregnancy hormones so give it some time and make less movements.
