Legs not working right after stopping pumping
Wondering if this is normal or has happened to anyone else. Obviously my body has changed since giving birth, my baby will be 7 months on the 30th and I’ve gained 16lbs since having her, i guess im one of those people who’s bodies hold onto weight while breastfeeding. I breastfed but mostly pumped until she was 6 months old and then i slowly stopped pumping. Ever since i stopped a few weeks ago my legs have been weak and in pain. If I sit or lay down too long it’s hard to walk at first and i feel really stiff. I try to take decent walks every day, the other day my husband and i were on a walk with the baby and dogs and i was in so much pain, i honestly didn’t know if i could make it back home, i had the worst shin splints and felt so stiff. I’ve tried stretching more and i definitely know i need to drink more water but i guess im wondering if this is normal or if i should seek medical attention. My feet swell a bit too sometimes, yesterday they felt really tight in my shoes. Anyone else?
