Saddle issue after giving birth
Hoping for some help from mom cyclists out there! I gave birth to my first baby about 6 months ago. Before I was pregnant, I got a bike fit and a new saddle and it was pretty comfortable, so saddle sores or pressure issues. I was riding 15-25 mile rides.
Obviously doing a lot less since having the baby, but starting to get back into it. the longest ride I’ve done so far is 16 miles and I had some good saddle sores in front of my sits bones. And when I’m riding, even short distances, it doesn’t feel like my sits bones have as much pressure as they should, like there is pressure in other places on the saddle. I did get new bibs in a size up for my pp body too.
I know my measurements could have changed after giving birth, but I’m also just spending so much less time in the bike. So do I get re measured or get another saddle? Give it some time to get my form back and get used to a bike saddle again? Also, if my hips got wider during birth, do they ever go back to a previous measurement?
Thanks for any input or experiences!
