After having a baby when did you start working out ?

Question

Hello ladies I had my baby boy 2 weeks and 2 days ago. When can I start to work out again and get my body back ? I didn’t tear at all I just got 2 stitches in the inside of my kitty lol I’m feeling good when did you ladies start to work out after having a baby ??

Answer

They say 6 weeks for a reason. I know you’re anxious, I’m a fellow gym rat, I get it. But you have got to let yourself heal. When you get a scratch and it scabs over it doesn’t hurt anymore, right? But it’s still healing and if it gets bumped or nicked it could bleed all over again. Same thing. 6 weeks pelvic rest. 6 weeks light duty. Do your body a favor, it just created a whole human. Give it a few weeks to recover.

Answer

It takes a while for you to heal - even if your vagina didn’t tear, you have a giant wound inside your uterus where the placenta was attached. You can start some gentle walking, but hold off on going to the gym at least until your six-week appointment.

Answer

I didn’t do anything but walking the first 6 weeks. Lots of walking. Then when dr said ok I went to the gym
