Anyone else's upper body sore ALL the time?

My DD is 22+ lbs and in the past few weeks my arms and back are sore all the time, like I've been lifting weights. I didn't have great upper body strength pre-baby, but I'd imagine my body would get used to hauling her and her stuff around after awhile. So far it's still crying out for mercy Anyone else? When does it get better?

Wow. My DD weighs about the same as yours and I've always considered myself to be the weakest woman in the world.

Just since the other day, my neck and upper back have been achy. I thought maybe I pulled something, but maybe it's just from lugging her around.

I have carpal tunnel and I just cant take how my wrists are going to crack everyday. I hear ya. 22 lb child here, and a huge staircase to climb everyday. just the lifting this child all day is what exhausts me
