What workouts did you moms do to strengthen your core after giving birth? I had my 3rd vaginal birth on the 13th and it hurts when I pick my feet up to put shoes on after I’ve been laying down and I can’t lift my legs to put pants on without almost falling. I had a very easy birth and feel like my normal self other than this problem.

Same here after my 3rd. Gave birth on the 16th to an 8lb 15oz baby no tears but still can’t lift my leg higher then a certain point without immediately wincing and holding the area
The 13th was only 10 days ago, I’d start by giving yourself more time. It may get better as you heal.

It seems soon but maybe you should speak to your dr. I had 3 kids and don’t remember anything like that.
Research Diastasis Recti. This was my problem after 3 kids. Completely loss core strength until I had an abdominal surgery.
Look up exercises for your transverse abdominis. Dead bugs is great, anything that involves balancing is great. YouTube will have tons of good videos
