I didn't realize the coughing/ jumping and peeing thing was so common-- I feel pretty lucky that's not an issue after 2 babies. </p> <p>One weird thing I have noticed, that could be totally unrelated, is my legs fall asleep easier when I sit on the floor, since having babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2171480 Thu, 07 May 2015 23:07:13 +0000 Boogs 2171480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasional back and sciatic pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2171447 Thu, 07 May 2015 22:01:46 +0000 Glitter 2171447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feel pain after sex now.

God knows I do plenty of those ;) actually she did refer me to a pelvic floor specialist, but then it was one of those deals where I could only see the specialist if I got a direct referral from their in-house urologists. So it was a big round about and then I didn't even get that referral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170762 Thu, 07 May 2015 13:41:33 +0000 KT326 2170762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton of lower back pain for about the first 18 months. Then I finally went to see a chiropractor and she got me all straightened out. As long as I keep exercising it doesn't bother me. As soon as I stop for any length of time it flares back up and I have to get readjusted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170689 Thu, 07 May 2015 12:56:39 +0000 travellingbee 2170689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hip/lower back still hurt. (It's been over 2 years :bummed: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170616 Thu, 07 May 2015 12:17:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2170616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some injection site pain for about 8 months PP with LO from my epidural and then C-section medication. Other than that, I was pretty good until I got pregnant again! I feel a whole lot more achy than I did last time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170596 Thu, 07 May 2015 12:10:36 +0000 kayakgirl73 2170596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hip pain that bother me in my last pregnancy and didn't go away until several months after I weaned and got a great message and the therapist did something to my hip, it hurt a bit but then was like sweet relief. Unfortunately it's back with my current pregnancy. I would have occasional urinary issues after my first PG but they are bad now, I can't cough or sneeze without an issue. Thank god for Poise Liners. I hope it goes away after this Pregnancy, but my mom and sister have major issues, but they had big babies so I'm praying that this one is small like my last one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170529 Thu, 07 May 2015 11:46:26 +0000 blackbird 2170529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: My dr told me kegels aren't even that effective b/c they only work certain muscles, not all the ones that need to be worked! Would your OB refer you? I think they can just write an Rx for so many weeks of treatment....i'm not sure. I know my GI doctor wanted me to see someone for constipation issues so I have a couple of reasons to get stuff straightened out. But i hate peeing myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170502 Thu, 07 May 2015 11:31:52 +0000 Amelieisme 2170502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No lingering effects here.

I never went again because that's not what I wanted. I would have liked to try the pelvic floor therapy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170409 Thu, 07 May 2015 10:44:51 +0000 Cchoi4 2170409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i'm permanently incontinent. :( Jumping up and down, running, general exercise all makes me go! I have to wear a pad every time i exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170405 Thu, 07 May 2015 10:41:06 +0000 Trailmix 2170405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back pain at night. It SUCKS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth/page/2#post-2170365 Thu, 07 May 2015 10:24:29 +0000 peachykeen 2170365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knee pain (8mpp). Not nearly as bad as when I was pregnant, but I gained 70 lbs with all the swelling from preeclampsia, so I think that had something to do with it. I'm still nursing &amp; pumping with no free time, but hoping when I get a chance to do some real, regular exercise it will improve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2170217 Thu, 07 May 2015 09:20:43 +0000 littlebug 2170217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hemorrhoids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2170211 Thu, 07 May 2015 09:18:48 +0000 Tanjowen 2170211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: @jape14: I was very skeptical of chiropractic care, but it was, according to my primary physician, either that or medicate.</p> <p>At least once a month I see their massage therapist - it isn't a nice massage either, it HURTS, but I credit the combination for helping me heal faster. Insurance covered 12 visits a year, so I used insurance to pay for the massage and the initial appointment, and paid out of pocket for the visits. </p> <p>I used to not be able to sit on my couch without it hurting, and now I can sit on the ground for short periods and be fine! Long periods of time I still hurt, but it's so much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2170196 Thu, 07 May 2015 09:12:00 +0000 jape14 2170196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: @Tanjowen: I also have tailbone issues - fractured my tailbone during delivery and it. sucked. I'm now 8 months PP and it's mostly better (not back to normal, but a huge improvement from not being able to sit!) but long days at the office are a giant pain in the butt. Maybe I should look into a chiro?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2170175 Thu, 07 May 2015 09:06:22 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2170175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Motion sickness, peeing when I cough/sneeze/laugh, and I feel like pregnancy did a number on my immune system. I've sick more in the last 18 months than I was in the last 10 years! I get sick even when LO doesn't or I get sick and give it to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2170000 Thu, 07 May 2015 08:07:32 +0000 MarieJ 2170000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My back has been hurting at my spinal injection site, but nothing major, thank goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169991 Thu, 07 May 2015 08:05:24 +0000 Mama Bird 2169991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got pregnant again, I discovered I have... um... problems when I cough. And I caught something where I was coughing non-stop for two weeks. I went through a lot of clothes changes :sad: </p> <p>@blackbird: I have not heard of this! If this problem sticks around after this baby is born, I'll have to check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169965 Thu, 07 May 2015 07:51:18 +0000 Peasinapod 2169965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 8 months pp and my core is still very weak. It feels like my ab muscles separated a bit. Also I can't hold gas in anymore! That's getting a bit better with time but definitely embarrassing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169960 Thu, 07 May 2015 07:47:02 +0000 artsyfartsy 2169960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No major issues. My uterus is forever different. Lots of random aches and pains even when I'm not ovulating or having my period. </p> <p>My back and pelvis are very out of line still and messed up. It causes me a lot of pain. I don't think this is permanent. I need to quit whining about it and finally go see a chiropractor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169958 Thu, 07 May 2015 07:45:28 +0000 Chillybear 2169958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently i did not do enough kegels....<br /> I also have joint pain in my left hip flexor (I feel like i need to pop it) and left thumb/tendon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169878 Thu, 07 May 2015 06:32:43 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2169878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I've heard really good things about it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169877 Thu, 07 May 2015 06:31:36 +0000 blackbird 2169877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>re: incontinence issues, has anybody done or considered pelvic floor therapy? it's on my list to do this year since i'll have met my full deductible when I have T and I figure it can't hurt, it can only help, right???? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169824 Thu, 07 May 2015 05:07:40 +0000 miramira 2169824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the longest time, I couldn't tell when my bladder was full... Thankfully it seems to be resolving. I am still a bit achy around my episiotomy scar though, 7 months on :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169820 Thu, 07 May 2015 04:55:20 +0000 rachiecakes 2169820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nerve damage from episiotomy. I can't feel inbetween my big toe and second toe and get weird nerve-y sensations at the incision site when I run/jump/long bike ride, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169775 Thu, 07 May 2015 00:03:03 +0000 Me3 2169775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stress incontinence for sure. I hate it. Also lower back pain forever--but I think that has to do with both loss of core strength from pregnancy AND lugging around huge kids (LO2 is 16.5 lbs at 3 months). Also, I have lost all feeling in some areas where my stretch marks did the most damage. It is so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-lingering-issues-from-pregnancychildbirth#post-2169767 Wed, 06 May 2015 23:30:04 +0000 loveisstrange 2169767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have lingering issues with swelling that I never had before. If I walk too much or eat too much salt, I bloat all up like crazy. </p>
