Working out?

Question

Anyone starting to work out (safely) at 4w pp?

Answer

I’ve been doing some recovery exercises since the first week pp and will start working out in a few weeks (I’ll wait until 8-10 weeks just with my own comfort level) but I follow the postpartum guide from a company called Expecting and Empowered which has a workout regime designed to make sure you heal properly. I love it and would highly recommend! Great Instagram page as well @expectingandempowered

Answer

I asked to come in at 4w instead of 6w just to have my stitches checked to make sure it was ok to workout. No abs or squats but was cleared for hiking and arms/legs workouts. I hiked 5mi with a 22lb pack yesterday and was fine. My OB said I may start bleeding more and that’s fine as long as I’m not soaking a pad.

Answer

I started little things like nightly walks and squats

Answer

I did around 4 weeks and started bleeding again the next day. You should clear it with your OB first.
