What Causes Loss Of Strength After Pregnancy?

Where did my strength go? Before pregnancy I was able to do several reps of pushups, and was able to do them through the 6th or 7th month of pregnancy... now, 10.5 months after the birth I can hardly do one unassisted push up, where'd my strength go?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Pregnancy is one of the most difficult life events, and this does take a toll on the health of a mother. Your body had to support two lives during pregnancy, and this is not an easy task.

But do not worry, with time, a good diet and active lifestyle your strength shall soon return. You can also meet a doctor for some multivitamin supplements to help boost your recovery.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
