My current status - all good

I'm still breastfeeding, almost 14 months after birth. But my pubic symphysis is 99% back to normal. I didn't say 100% because when I'm extremely tired or sick, there can still be some pain in pubic symphysis area. If I walk toooooo much, I can feel it too. But that's only minor compared to my back pain. And I really can live with my back pain now, so I would say my pubic symphysis is ok enough.

There can still be a little bit of bladder prolapse feeling, not real bladder prolapse, if I carry lots of heavy stuff. So I try not to carry my 10.7kg DD2 whenever possible. It's easier now since she can walk.

What I did for my recovery? Not much. I didn't exercise. I didn't go to any therapy. I did see a physio for bladder prolapse though and thanks to her tremenous efforts I can hardly feel the discomfort unless I over do myself. What I did was just rest as much as I could, used the belt when needed, knew what I should do and what I shouldn't, and that's pretty much it. I would say you really need to look after yourself, take it easy, let the pain be your guide and listen to your body, if you're lazy like me who don't like going to any medical appointments and who don't like exercise at all.
