Pelvic joint loose after delivery
I had a normal forceps delivery 10w back. I feel fine now but on doing little bit of household chores or on bathing the baby i feel my back gets very stressed in 5min.i had opted for epidural too as my delivery was complicated and was induced. 24hrs of labor and 6hrs of pushing as i was having GDM. Now my weight is 82kg..
Will my pelvic joint (front and back) both tighten itself or do i need to see a doctor?? Ortho or physio? Can i exercise? Which exercise will benefit me and how much strain can i take?

Take your time. But with chores upon yourself you will need the stamina. Start with 10 min continuous walks. Gradually increase .
Post delivery there are different levels of exercises to undergo .

The epidural injection is not the cause of your discomfort. It is the weak muscles of your lower back that is causing you that suffering. Focus on sitting appropriately, sitting less and doing exercises to strengthen the low back muscles.

Go slow. You are the best judge to understand the strain that you can tolerate.

Consult in person with physiotherapist for proper feeding posture and should take care of pelvic joint, as there will be pressure on on the joint while delivery.
Post partum exercises needs to be done daily to strength abdominal and pelvic joint.
