i think very light exercise is ok in the early days, but i could be wrong, im basing that on the fact they tell you to "work" on your pelvic floor from day 2 i think it was?
six weeks.
give it time... you'll be amazed what some time will do. it's only been three weeks!! It took nine months to get that way :)
If you've had a c/s the general guideline is 6 wks. In saying that I started back on the exercise bike 4 wks after my last c/s ;).
I'm not sure if there are any real guidelines re vaginal birth (sorry, I don't know which you had) - but light exercise when you feel up to it should not be an issue.
Just listen to your body - don't forget the relaxin can stay in your system for up to 9 months after.
thankyou everyone.Guess il wait a lil bit then take it slow :)
They do say 6 weeks, but if you feel physically fine (no pain from stitches etc) go for it I say. My bub is now 4 weeks and I have been walking and doing zumba. Just take it easy. I did hop on the treadmill at the gym and my legs were like jelly afterwards, so had to take a step back and slow down a little. Walking is good for you though and gets you out and about.
