Working out?

Question

When did you start working out after you had your baby? I’m 3 weeks postpartum as of tomorrow and I’m feeling pretty good, but I don’t want mess any healing up. Also, I didn’t regularly work out during or before my pregnancy, just trying to lose this weight.

Answer

I waited until 6 weeks

Answer

I think you're supposed to wait until your 6 week check up with your OB and have them give you the go ahead.

Answer

They told me 6 weeks. I’m not working out like I used to, but I’ll take my baby for long walks to get some exercise. Carrying my baby around is giving me a good arm work out too lol. Just trying to get a head start on working out.

Answer

My OB cleared me at 5 weeks PP.

Answer

I worked out 6 days a week my whole pregnancy and then had an emergency c section. I was walking after 1 week but didn’t run until 8 weeks. Prior, I  was doing mini workouts around 4 weeksI wasn’t limiting, just some toning. Basically standing and lifting my leg like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant or holding my arms out stretched and making circles...But again, I was regularly exercising my entire pregnancy.

Answer

I just took little walks with my baby boy at first after about 3 weeks and increased the amount of time I walked as he got older. Just go slow and work your way up.

Answer

Six weeks
