Working out?

Question

So I’m 4 and a half weeks PP. I had a vaginally delivery with some stitches which healed within a week. I know they say 6 weeks for working out but do you think their is any harm in starting 2 weeks early?!

Answer

I’m 3w3d PP and will be going back to the gym tomorrow. The recommendation is 6 weeks but that’s a generalized time. I personally know my body better than anyone else and I know what it can handle. I had also had vaginal delivery with no complications. I didn’t have any pain and mild bleeding post delivery. I no longer am bleeding and feel physically ready to get back in the gym(not full throttle but simple cardio and light weight lifting).

Answer

Just be careful as I stared doing too much with my first about a month after delivery and I had issues with a prolapsed bladder as a result.

Answer

I would check with your doctor but I have seen exercises that are light for after pregnancy. Pinterest is good for ideas.

Answer

I’m 3 weeks PP and push-mowed the lawn today. It’s not exactly Insanity or P90X, but I need to do something or I’m going to go nuts, my treadmill is prepped and waiting for me.

Answer

I’ve been doing light cardio like the elliptical and treadmill and I’m about 3 weeks pp. I would def check with your doc though.
