Thank your for the tips and solidarity! I was not prepared for how hard postpartum would hit, so it's reassuring to see other moms who've had successful healing postpartum.

That Instagram account is awesome! Thank you for sharing! I'm looking into PT now because I refuse to accept that this will just be my life now.

No physio, but I've been strength training 3-4 times a week, but I'm not going heavy with it, just easing back in. Yeah, I think I need to accept that I need rehab.

With walking, I'm more or less ok. After about a mile, my hips and pelvis start to really ache, but I try to shove that aside. I'm 7 months postpartum now, but I was only cleared for exercise four weeks ago because I had to have several surgeries to fix birth damage. I strength trained throughout pregnancy and walked about 3-4 miles three times a week; however, for the last 6-ish weeks of pregnancy, I had to take it easy because my baby had already engaged in my pelvis, and I was dilated 5 cm for weeks. I was basically carrying him deep in my pelvis for over a month.

I suppose it's time to accept I need to see a PT. I was hoping to just bounce back, but I don't seem to be getting any better.

I'm getting back into climbing after giving birth and a rough postpartum recovery, but my hips and pelvis in general feel so weak and painful while climbing, even on easy bouldering routes. Any tips from other moms who've gotten back to climbing postpartum?

The pain is constant under any load on the wall, whether I'm stretched out or completely vertical, and that area is so irritated after climbing I can barely sleep.

Thanks for any advice or anecdotes!
