My body and joints have been locking up since birth of my 1st child this year end of september?

Post delivery joint discomfort is not uncommon and may go on for months & may have something to do with stress on joints during pregnancy, hormonal changes,caring for baby or even injuries sustained during labor& delivery. Development of actual arthritis isn't likely but you could be evaluated for this by your physician. Otherwise it's best to remain physically active to return to your prior shape
