A member asked:
I am 6 months postpartum. when i sit up i feel the muscles of the right side of my abdomen tighten up. sometimes this is painful. what may cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle pain : You may have pulled your abdominal(core) muscles. This is very common with an infant. Especially if you use that side of your body to lift and hold the baby. I recommend alternating sides when holding the baby, diaper bag, car seat. Be extra mindful when lifting out of the crib or the car.
