i have mild carpal tunnel and my left hip/back still hurts time to time....! 8 months pp!
-
Numbness down the top middle of my left thigh . . . it is a strip about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
-
My hair won't stop falling out!!!
-
None!
I *just* got over my back pain. Man, that baby just sat sooooooo low and my back was super sore for awhile.
9m PP. -
I've still got baby brain..... it just never ever went away!
-
6 months pp and still shedding like a dog...
-
@prettylizy: pregnancy brain morphs into mommy brain. It's. not. Going. Away.
-
@prettylizy: I still struggle with this too!
@yerpie110: My hair got a little bit thicker but never fell out . .
-
so much hair loss
-
@TurtleDoves: exactly!!! I'm such a goof anymore
-
Back pain, hair loss, my feet tingle and swell a little. Ummmm I wonder if my being pregnant will now cancel out my symptoms. Doubtful!
-
Fat
-
@MsLipGloss: lucky
-
I had very painful knees (both knees) for a very long time. I think it lasted at least half a year to 8 months.
-
My knees are busted! And I still sweat and have BO like a homeless person. I'm gross.
-
@irene: ugh! I'm having horrible knee pain! I hope it doesn't last that long, although that's better than what I've been scared of which is permanent damage...
-
@sslm: It's going to go away so no worries! I was worried too back then. A friend who had similar symptoms told me that her doc said "breastfeeding makes it worse".... my friend explained it to me but I forgot what it is.
Then of course, with all the "knee walking" when we constantly have to pick up, reposition and lay down a helpless baby doesn't help!
-
I lost so much hair until 8 months pp. Symptoms I still have: the lovely hemorrhoids. Urgh. Getting better though! 10 months pp
-
I still have random back pain and can't sleep on my side without a pillow between my legs...I get shooting pains through my hips down to my knees.
-
@grizz: hahha me too!
I popped a rib during labor and it keeps slipping back out.
I also pee differently now, and I don't get much of a warning before I have to poop. Why does nobody warn you about this??!?!
-
@irene, I'd read that my hip pain was due to relaxin. Also secreted while BFing! I had a lot of other symptoms that went away when I stopped pumping
Hair loss (just started!), hemorrhoids, incontinence while jumping rope
the last is the worst for me
-
Hip and back pain. My hip hurts like crazy at night time, especially while sleeping. I always have to toss and turn to get it to stop for a moment. Not fun.
My hair finally stopped shedding recently, thankfully!
-
Hair loss with a crazy amount of new baby hairs coming in to replace it. And my feet still tingle and itch from time to time. Oh and the stretch marks haven't gone away yet.... J/k.... I know they won't.
-
@blackbird: Jump rope pee!! Thankfully my Crossfit gym rocks and they have pads in the bathroom for the mommies.
-
5 months pp & I run about 10 degrees warmer than I used to. At home I'm always walking around as naked as a can be. Which would be ok, if sex didn't hurt so damn much. I had no idea it would be this bad. My doctor says it's because of bf-ing causing things to thin out. I don't know but it's awful.
And the hair loss. I work with food. It's not cool.
-
wait - hair loss can last until 8 mo pp?!?! ugh - i can't take it. my hair is EVERYWHERE.
it's like we have a pet in the house. except we don't.
-
@nycbee: honestly, mine stopped after I got a haircut with layers. It took lots of hair off and the weight if my hair was lessened by a bunch! I think it made my fallout stop. I might have shed a tiny bit since I cut my hair, tiny bit.
-
@nycbee yup it was insane! I could literally run my hands through my hair and end up with a handful at least. Thankfully its back to normal and barely notice the small amount I do shed.
ETA: I refused to go to the hairdresser while I was shedding because I was embarrassed and grossed out about how much I was losing so a haircut may have made it better.
-
@grizz: LOL! Me too!!
-
@TurtleDoves: thank you for that ray of hope :). My hair has gotten really really long & I'm way overdue for a cut. Maybe that will help??
-
@Corduroy: I'm warm all the time too. And the night sweats are terrible. I'll get up to nurse LO in the middle of the night and come back to bed and lay down and the sheets are cold and wet! Yuck.
-
@Smurfette: Yes! I'm 6mo pp and still with the hair loss!
-
Tailbone pain (I feel like my butt is broken), ankle pain and foot pain.
-
Night sweats, a strip of numb skin on my stomach, and wayy chubby...but I'm two weeks pp so I'll cut myself some slack
-
Still losing hair at 9 month pp also - it's slowing down though, finally!
@aprk: I also pee different. So bizarre.
-
@blackbird: Right! It was some chemical secretion thing that cause the joint pain.
@aprk: Same here about pooping !!! TMI warning: I had frequent constipation all my life. Now it is like someone fixed the arrangement inside my belly and everything goes smoothly. I am not complaining at all
the last is the worst for me
