Hi I am new to the board and wanted to intoduce myself and ask a ???

I had my DS on 2/22/11 and gained 35lbs with him. I was 5lbs heavier when I got pregnant so I say 40lbs total weight gain. As of the other day I was down to 138lbs (losing 17lbs 2 weeks pp).  I do not have my 6 week pp apt until April but would love to start working out moderately before my apt.  Did any of you start before seeing your dr? If so what did you start out doing? I worked out during pregancy and have felt amazing since day 1 pp.  I was lucky to have a pretty easy delivery!!! I was thinking of calling my dr but without seeing me first would they clear me to start exercising?

Thanks for any input!

I started walking 3-4 weeks pp. At my 6 week appt, my dr was surprised I wasn't doing more. I guess it's just precautionary. Your body will tell you if you are doing too much.
