Anyone exercising before their six weeks post-partum appointment?

Question

I had a vaginal delivery with no complications, no tears (thank God) so I began working out at two weeks post-partum. I'm currently 5 weeks and 4 days post-partum and down 25lbs! Anyone else working out or planning to start working out soon?

Answer

I am 4 weeks PP, natural birth. I started walking on a treadmill about 1.5 week PP and doing some gentle stretches. Now, I walk 1.5 miles on 2-3% incline for about 30 minutes. I gained about 24 lbs during the pregnancy and lost 16 lbs a few days after birth and now it just fluctuates +/- 1-2 pounds. I am waiting for 6 weeks to get back into running, weights and more serious yoga! ☺️

Answer

I didn't wait. I felt well enough to walk 1-2 miles after the first week then at 3 weeks I started with band & body weight workouts. At 5 weeks I started with the bar. Now at 6 weeks I started back with putting plates on. I'm about 1/2 the strength as I was Pre preg. Right now I'm focusing on my core & pelvic strength.

Answer

I'm glad I waited to workout.  I thought I was OK but at my 6 week postpartum checkup, I didn't get the OK to workout as I have a stage 3 uterine prolapse. If I wouldn't have waited, I could be having a hysterectomy right now at 33 and be able to have another baby like my husband so desperately wants.

Answer

I'm 6 weeks postpartum and have my Check Up tomorrow. I had an emergency c-section so I'm waiting on the Dr to okay me to start working out. I only gained 7lbs during my pregnancy and I'm down 27lbs. I feel great mentally but not physically yet. Keep up the good work momma! 😀

Answer

I'm 6 wks pp going to start working out today Or tomorrow

Answer

I'm waiting until cleared. I ripped almost all the way through and had stitches and also had diastasis recti so I'm not gonna push it. I still have 2 weeks to go so until then I'm gonna relax and snuggle my baby. But just with eating right and breastfeeding I've lost 20 lbs last time I checked and I only gained 30 during the whole pregnancy.

Answer

I am 5 weeks PP from a c section and I have started walking...I walk a least once a week and about 2 miles. I cant wait for my doc to clear me for exercise other than walking!!!!

Answer

I started last week at 5 weeks ppd. I'm doing turbo fire.

Answer

Omg that's awesome.  I haven't started andcan't wait to.  Best of luck. By the way what have you been doing to lose that much

Answer

I was down 20 lbs at my 4 week apt. Skin is tightened up on my tummy. But I also did yoga and cardio while pregnant.
