Did anyone start exercising ?

Question

Anyone else started exercising before the 6 or 8 weeks postpartum?
I am 4 and a half weeks PP and I feel fine. I have an urge to work out. 
What are some recommended exercises postpartum? I have a stationary bike and am thinking of using that as well .

Answer

I’m 4.5 weeks pp and also have the urge to get this stomach in shape LOL. I’m waiting to get cleared tho.

Answer

I always start at 2 weeks with all of my kids. By two weeks, I'm back down to pre pregnancy weight and not really bleeding anymore. But my doctor also does a 2 week pp appointment before the 6 week one, so I make sure to clear it with him first. I prolapsed after my first baby's birth, so I have to be extra careful with what I do to not worsen the prolapses.

Answer

I started consistently walking outside at 1.5 or 2 weeks pp.  I am 4 weeks pp today and walked on the treadmill like I did pre-pregnancy (speed and incline).  I also lifted some upper body weights.  It felt wonderful!!!  I want to jog again but I’m not feeling ready for that yet (I stopped jogging at 6 weeks pregnant due to nausea so it’s been a minute lol).  I think as long as you feel ok, go for it!  Just take it slower than you might want to because the last thing you need is to overdue it and set yourself, and your healing, back.

Answer

I’m tempted as well! I’ll be 4 weeks PP tomorrow. Really want to start exercising soon but I tried squats the other day and it kinda hurt. I wouldn’t recommend exercising unless it’s walking.

Answer

I started at 1w pp. First I did walking. My 2nd born was 10lb and popped my hips out so bad that they didn't go back to normal. This babe wanted to come out of my hip and my doc told me as soon as i could to start walking as much as i can to help my hips and to use a brace. My hips are still popped out ugh. 
But once the bleeding stopped I started squats and lunges. As well as stretching. Bleeding came back so I had to stop but it stopped again so im definitely going to get back to exercise. 
Soon I'll up my game and do more home stuff. But my advice is to take it slow. Also consult your doc about certain exercises.
