I'm not super strong to start, and it's been a big issue. I discovered the joys of chiropractors, and I've got a whole exercise and conditioning plan in place that has REALLY been helping. </p> <p>Don't be like me! Strengthen your core and back muscles before toddler-hood. Some days I am REALLY miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-becoming-a-mom-give-you-back-problems#post-509683 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:53:22 +0000 MsLipGloss 509683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I have found that as I slowly recover my core strength that my back feels better, too.</p> <p>@AutumnLove: I never thought my wrists would be impacted by pregnancy! For me it was really a problem while BFing. To help, I would roll up an A+A blanket to put under my wrist for support while BFing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-becoming-a-mom-give-you-back-problems#post-508670 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:12:32 +0000 autumnlove 508670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My back was ok but my wrists hurt so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-becoming-a-mom-give-you-back-problems#post-508656 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:07:15 +0000 SleepyMonkey 508656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um YES. I was in constant pain. So I do stretches every day and back exercises every other day along with Pilates to help strengthen my core. It has helped. I wore the carrier today to lunch and I didn't feel as much pain/soreness as I did a few weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-becoming-a-mom-give-you-back-problems#post-508579 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:27:32 +0000 MamaMoose 508579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: good point about the core strength. Obviously pregnancy killed that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-becoming-a-mom-give-you-back-problems#post-508577 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:26:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 508577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has definitely put a strain on my back! I attribute at least some of the back strain to doing so much bending with reduced ab/core strength. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-becoming-a-mom-give-you-back-problems#post-508565 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:21:43 +0000 MamaMoose 508565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear between nursing, bending over to change diapers, and carrying the car seat my back is KILLING me!! I need to start strengthening it at the gym I guess. I'm laying in bed with LO right now and I feel like I'm boring her but I'm not sure I can even stand up and hold her at the moment!! </p>
