    I had knee issues after pregnancy and it resolved itself after about 6 months. I think it was related to loose ligaments combined with not exercising so much in late pregnancy/newborn period and then having to build up the muscles again. A physio could help with exercises perhaps... It is unpleasant I know.

    Are you breast feeding? Relaxin continues to be released by your body (but in smaller doses) while breast feeding.

    I had/ still have knee issues that my physio and GP think were exacerbated by pregnancy, even though DS was over 2 years old when they became obvious. The physio says that things stretch and sometimes never go back to how they were. However, there's lots you can do to strengthen and build the surrounding muscles, so def go see a physio.
