It is not uncommon to experience backaches, knee pain, or general body stiffness after birth. This is often linked to the physical changes your body underwent during pregnancy, including the loosening of ligaments and the natural shift in your center of gravity. Additionally, the demands of holding, rocking, and breastfeeding your baby can lead to poor posture and muscle strain. To manage this discomfort, stay consistent with your postnatal calcium and Vitamin D supplements as advised by your doctor. Gentle movement, such as light walking, can help reduce stiffness, but avoid heavy lifting or high-impact exercise until you have been cleared by your healthcare provider, usually around the 6-week mark or after a formal postnatal check-up. If the pain is localized to your joints or persists despite gentle care, consider consulting a physiotherapist who specializes in postpartum recovery.
