I had severe ppd. That trumped the stretch marks and c-section recovery.

 Not so much an issue, but I hate hate hate the cramping at first when I nurse. Oh it reminds of being in labor again.

 I just experienced this with my 3rd, but never had it with my other two. Sudden anxiety attacks that come out of nowhere for me. My doc said it was actually my thyroid going a little crazy from being pp.

I just had my 4th in Sept and may of had the pp anxiety for a bit. It was gone before my 6 week check up though, so I didn't mention anything to the ob. And I am hypothyroid while I was pregnant with my 4th but not the first 3. So that may be why. I'm still on the meds though but my 1 day pp thyroid draw showed the levels where whacked.

I have all sorts of aches and pains.  I vaguely remember the same with Isabelle, so I'm hoping they'll go away when I quit nursing, lol.
