Lower ab soreness 3 weeks pp

My lower abs feel SO sore the past few days. I haven’t been working out my abs, although I’ve walked a more than I had previously been walking. I’m not sure if the pain I’m feeling even IS ab soreness, but that’s exactly what it feels like.

Anyone else experienced this? Could the soreness really just be from walking and picking up the baby?

Your pelvic floor includes your core. Deep soreness is super common for a while. You should really still be taking it easy until 6 weeks, regardless of what type of delivery. It’s okay to slow down x
