So I'm due in 4 weeks and I had plans to start going for short, easy walks a couple days after the baby was born. I thought it would help me recover quicker and be a nice activity to get me out of the house so I don't feel too cooped up. When I told my SIL, who has a 5-month-old, she said that I need to wait until I get the ok at my 6-week check-up because you're not supposed to go for walks. That seems like forever to me! Has anyone else been told this? I guess I should ask at my next check-up. Isn't walking suppposed to be good for all sorts of ailments?
