It does sound like carpal tunnel. It's been going on now for a good few days. But I always wake up with pain in my wrist and not being able to make a fist.

May call the doctors to see what they say.

OS I also had that but put it down to the fact that I had changed the position in which I slept and had pain going down my left arm which always took a while to ease up.

So I managed to survive my first week of the OH going back to work....just!! I got a call from him at work last tuesday to say that his boss had asked him to go offshore for a week from the next day :( so I had only just got my head around being by myself during the day and looking forward to him coming home at night, but this was a whole different thing. Had a slight meltdown on Friday as I was absolutely shattered but thankfully had family and friends rally round to keep me company and even my folks took him out for a long walk on Saturday so that I could catch up on sleep.

So thankfully he got home on Monday (earlier than expected) and we are getting back into the routine of him taking the 11pm/midnight feeding and I do the early morning feeds.

Hello peeps. I have been given admin rights on the thread for a while so please tell my sleep deprived brain what needs changing in the header. Is Mrs Lammo next?

That seems like a long time lammo! Seems like we had a lot of births in the past 6 weeks or so...

Right. Have booked personal training session now I've had my 6 wk check. Well, when I say check, he just asked me if I was ok and took my blood pressure! I had 3rd degree tear and was told that the deep stitches take 3 mths to dissolve. But I should be ok trying some run/walk stuff d'you think? I dunno if being massively overweight makes any difference (apart from being a bloody good reason to start sooner rather than later!)

My PT is excellent but he's not been through childbirth himself ;) so just wondered if people with similar damage had experience / knowledge to share.

I think one of the main things aside from listening to your body is to make sure someone checks your abdominal separation before you do any core stuff. I posted about this in the getting fit after preggers thread recently. More than 2 finger widths and I think you are supposed to avoid crunches, planks etc. The other thing I was advised of is that Relaxin levels are still pretty high for about 5 months after birth, so more prone to injury, so avoid very deep lunges, stretches etc.

Done Doogs :)

I'm not sure anyone could find my abdominal muscles... I'm very fat. The relaxin hormone was my worry as I also understand they're higher if you BF?
