Working out!!?

Question

How long did your doctor usually recommend waiting to workout after baby? I was curious cause my sister got the okay at around 4 weeks but I know a lot typically say 6 weeks but curious if that changed. Especially cause I didn’t tear or have any other complications during labor. I do have an appointment today so of course I’ll be asking but so ready to get back into the gym! Thanks!

Answer

My doctor said 8 weeks but I had a c section

Answer

I had my postpartum check at 4 weeks and they told me I'm probably okay to start now (then) but they would still advise waiting until 6-8 weeks to make sure. I was still spotting but I had no tears or cuts etc. Generally I think most people who have uncomplicated vaginal births are okay to start at 4 weeks but it's still better to wait 6-8 weeks to be sure.

Answer

6 weeks is pretty standard from what I understand.

Answer

6 weeks with my first. 5 weeks with my second. 2 weeks with my third.
