Anyone know when it's okay to start exercising again? I'm 3 weeks PP and went to an exercise class yesterday. It felt sooo good to get out and exercise, but my pelvis feels a little off today, and I'm wondering if maybe I overdid it. I had an episiotomy and a 4th degree tear, so maybe I'm not 100% healed. Ugh, I'm so ready to have stuff back to normal down there and to tighten up this flabby tummy!
Re: Exercise
Your body is going to feel a little funny for months but I think the exercise would help it recover faster. Just go easy on squats, etc. anything that might tug at your torn areas. Otherwise, especially if you were exercising regularly up until delivery, go for it!
I wish I had the time & help to be able to get back to them but its not happening yet sadly. Thank heavens we have a Kinect & some workout games or I'd go crazy
I had no tearing, no complications and was still told 6 weeks. Was just cleared today.
I'm not always the most compliant person in the world, but I still took it easy because it is important to not hemorrhage. That one made some sense.
