Working out?

Question

Has anybody started light exercises before the 6 week check up? I’m about 4 weeks postpartum now and feel normal but am still spotting. I know I’d most likely bleed more if I started exercising, but I want to lose the last 10 pounds of pregnancy weight!
Would it be safer to wait until after my 6 week check?

Answer

I started going on walks (1-2 miles) at around 3 weeks, did some kick boxing around 5 weeks. Doc told me at the hospital to just do whatever I fee comfortable with and obviously don’t go running any marathons. If anything starts to hurt just stop.

Answer

My doctor only cleared me for walking until 6 weeks pp

Answer

I’m 3 weeks pp 
Saw my ob yesterday because I had a few concerns about my healing... 
he gave me the ok to work out, I also asked about heavy lifting he said it’s ok, I could lift anything it wouldn’t affect me.. but I will still take it slow, with just stretches and squats not to much heavy lifting

Answer

I’ve been walking every day but haven’t started working out yet. I’m 4 weeks pp.

Answer

Started the gym 1 week postpartum. My body felt ready and my bleeding was just spotting after a few days so that wasn’t concerning to me. Just do what you feel you’re capable of! :)

Answer

I have. I’m
4 weeks PP and my doctor told me in the hospital do whatever feels good. I’m not going to the gym yet but I’m
Doing body weight exercises at home. The only thing thar doesn’t feel “good” is running.

Answer

I’ve just been walking a mile a few times a week. I wanted to wait until I’m cleared to do anything else... but you could always start light exercise and see how it goes! And then maybe increase slowly?
