I had a c-section. My baby was 10 pounds 9 ounces. Okay, I have taken those things into consideration. I felt strong and healthy during my entire pregnancy (even waddling at nine months!) and I healed very well after surgery. BUT I am noticing in the last couple of weeks (my baby is 3 months old) that my core is so sore and weak! Did you feel this way? What did you do that helped you feel stronger. I walk for about 30 minutes (w/ baby in stroller) twice a week and I work out three times per week. I've been going slowly. The weakness seems unaffected by my work. Whether or not you worked out, I'd like to hear your experiences. This was my second child. My other daughter is 14. I'm 35, in fairly good shape and very healthy otherwise. Thanks!!

It's normal...maybe the pain is due to epidural or baby's weight or even some extra pounds from pregnancy.

I was 32 when my daughter was born via C section...the only thing I remember hurting was when they took the staples out of my belly. I was up and walking within an hour of my surgery and walked up and down every hall and corridor in the hospital for the three days I was there.

I'm 32 and had a vaginal delivery.
I've always had a very strong back, and had no back pain throughout my pregnancy.
Afterwards, my lower back was a mess ... it's gotten better, but after 7 months it's still not great.
