I just had an amnio done yesterday and prior to that i was exercising at least 5x's a week, how long did you wait before starting exercise again??  THX!

What did the doctor say about exercising after? I didn't have an amnio after the a/s because I was too nervous about complications, but I thought they told me the risk was for about two weeks.

I was advised to not work out for at least 2 days afterwards.

Did they go over this stuff with you at the appointment?  We got a whole schpeel of what to do/not do & when to call them with worries (infection, leaking, etc).  They even gave us a sheet of paper reitterating what they said in case our stressed brains forgot something.  I'd go by what they said at your appt or call your doc.

they gave me a sheet that said no cooking/cleaning/sex etc... for 24hrs but nothing about exercise.  And i never thought to ask about it.  I'm guessing since it said nothing for 24hrs then it would be ok to resume exercise after 24hrs but i didn't do anything today except take care of DS which is exercise in itself. 

I think i'll give a call to my ob tomorrow and ask.
