when can I walk

Question

on the treadmill after having an uncomplicated vaginal birth? baby is 6 days old today, just light walking nothing crazy. it's too cold & snowy to go outside

Answer

Ask you doctor to be safe. I was walking the day I left thr hospital because my ob told me to just listen to my body and to not over do it. Always best to ask your ob though as everyone is different.

Answer

Loads of women in Europe walk home from the hospital... honestly unless you had a traumatic birth, you'll be fine. I walked 6 miles when my son was 4 days old

Answer

You can call your doctor and ask. Most doctors have a nurse line.

Answer

Whenever you feel comfortable. With both my babies I was out walking by 4 days PP I just didn't go far.

Answer

Unless your doctor recommended against it listen to your body. Start with a lazy walk for just a few minutes, if your bleeding increases you are doing way too much. Light walking (DO NOT PUSH IT YET) is good for you!

Answer

I was walking around stores like 5 days after my csection lol I felt like it helped me heal so much quicker

Answer

I did light exercise immediately and was on my feet. I’ve had two natural unmedicated uncomplicated vaginal deliveries. If your bleeding increases suddenly, you feel dizzy/faint, or sick, you’re doing too much ❤️
