Can you go on walks before 6w checkup?

Question

I’m 3w PP and I really have been wanting to go on walks around my town. Would that be considered exercises that you can’t do until you get an okay?

Answer

Yes! We took our daughter for her first walk at 4 days PP.

Answer

Absolutely! I walked 2-3 miles a day in the hospital and was back in the gym (doing light workouts) by 1 week postpartum (all doctor approved). Walks aren't an issue at all. You just listen to your body.

Answer

I took a walk less than 24 hours after I gave birth. It wasn’t long and I walked slowly but it felt amazing to be up and about. Listen to your body and don’t push it too hard!

Answer

The only way my baby wouldnt cry the first five weeks was if we were taking a walk. I'd walk him 5-7 miles once and sometimes twice a day

Answer

Yep, I was actually told at the hospital to go on daily walks if I could

Answer

I went on my first walk a few days pp. I was active during pregnancy and felt great. It was very short but felt so good to get fresh air. My midwife told me it was fine to walk if I wanted to and to start with walking a block and back and gradually move up from there. She told me to listen to my body and not over do it. She also said that my body would let me know if over did it by bleeding more. Take it easy and listen to your body and enjoy your walk!
