Exercise after m/c?

When have you started exercising after miscarrying?  I am a runner although I have not ran this week, since my bleeding started.  I have been feeling better the past two days though and went for an easy run today, although I was having a bit heavier bleeding (nothing abnormal though), and felt fine.  Just wondering what others have done or been told.  I am not wanting to push myself but am eager to get back into it.

    Another runner here.   I probably waited about two weeks before I went on a run, though I did do a longish but slow walk about two days after my D&C, and a power walk and some elliptical maybe a week out.   For the first week or so, it seemed like exercise made my cramps a lot worse.

    I would recommend you start out slow and be really gentle with yourself -- no reason to push TOO hard right away.  If you're like me, the act of running benefitted my mental health in a way nothing else could, so it was important to get back to it quickly!!

    I'm also a runner. I didn't run much when I was pregnant. I waited to get the all clear from my doctor just about 2 weeks after my d&c. I didn't want to risk more bleeding or anything.

    I am 9 days past D&C and I have not run yet.  I go for my followup on Monday and I plan to get the clear to resume normal activities and I will probably start running again after that.

    Thanks everyone!  Although I did not have a d&c, i have been naturally miscarrying, should have specified that in my op.  i wonder if that makes a difference, I can see waiting a couple weeks after a surgical procedure.  I follow up with my doc on Monday so will ask then, but like someone said, it is helpful mentally to get back to running sooner rather than later!

    so sorry for your loss. 

    I had a natural miscarriage at 7.5 weeks. We were told to wait 2wks after the miscarriage was completed for sex (to avoid infection and give my body a rest), but excercise was okay as long as I took it easy.  I would double check with your doc.
