Nerve injury: Assuming you had a vaginal delivery, there are a number of nerves that can be injured during the delivery process. This includes everything from the lumbosacral plexus down to the peroneal. It sounds like you may have had a femoral nerve injury especially if you had extreme pushing with your hips in flexion. If it is not improving, you may need an EMG study to find if there is nerve injury and pt.
