Working out

agt104

I'm new to this page so sorry in advance if this is an annoying question to some. I had my mc on the 14th. I am trying to get back to normal but I am feeling some pain (like stabbing) in my stomach and have a real lack of energy. I know part of the energy piece is from feeling sad about what has happened, a nice cure is working out. I was wondering how soon any of you got back to that routine? 

Clearly I'll also ask my ob on Wed

I just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss.

It took a while before I really felt up to working out. If your loss was just this week I would definitely wait a little longer before working out. And like you already said, ask your OB.

I'm sorry for your loss, welcome to the board.

I am so sorry for your loss. I agree with prior posters on asking your dr.

I waited two weeks before I went on my first run after my D&C and I took it easy, it made me mentally feel much better so I understand what you are saying, but having the pain you are, I think it's better to wait to talk to your doc. There will be plenty of time to work out and regain energy once your body has had time to heal.

Thank you all for such kind words and good advice. 

It was natural, they did find a csyt, and I have some infection so I am on two types of antibotics. I'll wait for the all clear. 

 

You all are encourging and I am so thankful.

If you're still having any kind of pain I would hold off on working out and talk to you dr.

I got back into exercise within a week or so but started slowly with just walking. But this was only after any pain/discomfort had subsided.

I am sorry for your loss.  I agreed that you will definitely want to talk to your doc sooner rather than later with a stabbing type pain.  That doesn't sound normal.  Beyond that, my doc allowed me to return to normal activity as soon as I felt able.  I had natural miscarrages all 3 times so no surgery involved.  I found that working out helped get my emotions in check as well... Ease back into the routine and don't beat yourself up if you feel bad one day - just let yourself go through the emotions - it's the best thing you can do for yourself.  If you feel up to it, check out our Healthy-Living check-in - posted on Mondays and Fridays.  The group of ladies has really inspired me to do better with all things related to healthy-living.
