working out ?

k8enewlywed

My doctor release forms from the hospital say no 'true' exercise until after the 6 week check-up. Did you walk before this or do any other type of exercise like yoga? Reading online there are conflicting things about working out. I don't want to go crazy it's just gotten really pretty here the past few days and I wanted to take LO for a walk outside...but I would have to obviously lift out the stroller and push it. When is all that okay? I had a second degree close to 3rd degree tear but otherwise normal delivery.?

TIA!?

My dr said moderate walking was fine, to just not over do it.. your body will tell you when you've had too much!

My doc said I could walk and resume normal physical activity at 2 weeks.  I have been lifting the stroller, although we have a snap n go.  I can not go back to exercising, including yoga till 6 weeks.  She wants me to be kind to my abs.
