Exercise

How soon did you start exercising again after you had your baby?  My husband keeps telling me I need to wait till I am released from the Dr but I feel good.

I really didn't do much exercise until after my six week appt. Now I do pilates 3 days a week and walk on the days in between.

I started walking the first week and did the elliptical slowly at 3 weeks.  I waited until my 6 week pp to run or do abs.  But I had an easy delivery and worked out until theday I went into labor.

Usually, it's fine to walk at least -just start slowly and listen to your body.

Don't do anything until your 6wk pp appt.   You may feel good and ready but there's a reason your OB wants you to wait.  That being said, CALL the dr if you just can't wait and ask if she's ok with maybe some light walking.

How long ago did you have your baby? I had a c/s and I waited until 6wks after. I went the day of my checkup. I would wait until your doc ok's it. Try doing light exercising like walking.

I had my post pregnancy appt. at 4 weeks and started walking around that time.  I was back to spin class by 6 weeks.
