MAN I can't bel;ve how sore I still am I was only sore for like a day or so after #2,#3 but this one MAN my inner thighs are still sore and my pubic bones feel like I have been riding a bike on a very bumby road with a small hard seat for hours it still hurts to sit, cough move etc.... I figured since this is my fourth I wouldnt be this sore, there were no problems at delvery no ripes tears nothing, he was just a big baby 10.2 ( my biggest) but my 1st was 9.11 not much smaller he was the hardest and most painful to get out but 2 weeks and still sore thats CRAZY

I am right there with you. I am 10 days postpartum, and I was feeling so good that I went out with my 2 kids yesterday, and the bleeding that was almost gone, has started up really heavy, and I feel so crampy all day. Time to take some arnica 200c again. That helped a few days ago, and I felt great afterwards. I just needed to get out, and I may be regretting it.

I completely understand. I felt like someone had smashed my crotch with a 2x4 after I had DS. I'm hoping this time around everything is a little easier.. Hopefully!

I'm 2 wks pp with #2. At one week pp I went grocery shopping - the bleeding that had gotten really light got heavy again and my midwives prescribed more rest. I've gotten on my feet very slowly since then but now I have little choice about it, my 4 year old needs me to take care of her - husband at work and my mom went home. I find the blood flow increases and decreases, and I am still sore from the birth (same thing with coughing and sneezing - yikes). Sitting, standing and walking all feel awkward to me sometimes depending on the position I'm in. I think the kegels are helping with the soreness. But the midwives said to seriously plan on a 6 week recovery period. At least that time frame helps me take pressure off myself to feel 100% so soon.
Hope that helps,
