Muscle knots

Has anyone else been experiencing knots in their back, shoulders (especially the shoulder blades) and neck?? I’ve never had this problem until after having my baby.
I try to sit straight and not hunched over when feeding her, I try to move/stretch throughout the day, using my heating pad when I have the chance & have gotten massages. I got my second massage today and the lady said I had/have a lot of small knots and I FELT her get two huge knots out. I’m going to give it a couple days, see how my body feels and then I might call my PCP if I’m not feeling relief.

I’m not sure exactly why im getting so many knots and what I can do to help with this pain and discomfort 😩

Anyone else going through this or have? Any advice in the meantime??

I do accupunture for this

I had those knots before pregnancy from my job. They've just gotten a lot worse postpartum. I get dry needling done to relieve some of the pain. I used to get deep tissue massages but they don't do much for me anymore.

Yes! Omg im constantly hurting in my shoulder blade. Especially my left. I've noticed when I sit up straight it hurts worse but if I lounge back it helps.

How did you ladies not spazz during c-section?

I understand you don’t feel pain but you feel everything else and I panicked the first time and they had to put me under, scared if I have to do another c-section I will panic again😂

Baby is frank breech, should I worry?

Having growth scan every two weeks, baby has been transverse for 2 months and head down two weeks ago but is now Frank breech, should I be worried he'll stay like this? I'm 32 weeks

Any Guesses of the Gender?

I really wanted to have a private gender scan. However, my partner does not want to find out until the 20 week scan ( in 4 weeks ). I already have a feeling I know what it is, but I just wanted to know everybody else thoughts.
