Delivered around 6 weeks back, normal delivery, and im itching to get back to some light workout. But scared of doing it too early. When did u ladies start exercising again? will check with my doc also but want real experiences.
My mother suggested waiting for at least 40 days of complete rest before doing any hard work. I also followed my doctor's advice and started with basic walking only after my 6-week scan.
Please do not start any exercise without checking with your gynac first. Whether it was a normal delivery or C-section, your doctor knows when your body is fully healed.
Don't rush into expensive gym memberships or post-pregnancy fitness programs. Simple walking at home is free and safe, but only start after your doctor gives you the green light at your 6-week checkup.
Most postpartum apps suggest waiting for your 6-week postpartum check-up before starting any workouts. Track your recovery and ask your doctor for safe pelvic floor exercises first.
Usually, doctors advise waiting for 6 weeks for normal delivery and 8-12 weeks for a C-section. Start with very gentle walks at home and listen to your body.
