PP exercise

Jennifer43

I am sure I can find this somewhere, but how long are you supposed to wait before you start actually working out? I remember my doctor saying I can talk walks/short jogs as soon as I felt up to it, but I can't remember what they say about doing more intense work outs, sit ups, etc.

Anyone know?

I was given the all clear at my 6 week check up.  I really didn't want to push it since I had a C and stuck to long walks until my check up.

My doc said only walks until my 6 week check up. She said that even if I felt like I was ready for more, my body isn't. She specifically said definitely no ab work. It's killing me.

My dr. said it was ok at 4 weeks to walk only for 10-15 mins at a time and then she cleared me at 6 weeks pp for all other exercise, but I had a c-section and it may be different for you.

I was told absolutely no exercise until my appointment.  That will be in 6 weeks after giving birth.

Thanks ladies. I was thinking that was the case but wasn't quite sure.
I will stick to walks until I have my appointment.

Thanks for asking.  I've been wondering this and all I could find is check with your doctor (which I would do eventually).  At least now I have a ball park.
