i've been working in the yard a lot for the past week, and my hand really hurts. i'm afraid it's a stress fracture, but of course i'm not sure. i've been either pregnant or breastfeeding for 5 years now and am very small boned to begin with. does anyone know anything about how pregnancy and BFing might weaken bones while you're still BFing? i know that it does, and that when you're done the bone mass comes back, but this has me wondering how long the weakness lasts and how common it is that the weakness is significant to lead to fractures. TIA!
