Should I or shouldn't I

Yesterday was supposed to be my 6 week pp visit, but as I was leaving, they called and told me that the doc had emergency surgery and rescheduled. I was looking forward to getting cleared for exercise and wifely duties. I'm thinking I could anyway. Would you or would you wait until Monday? I had a c/s if that matters. TIA!

depends on how you feel.  If your up to it, you could maybe do some light house work/light working out. 

I knew I could have started working out before my 6 week appt, but i used it as an excuse to be lazy a bit longer .  

I def wouldn't do anything to strenuous until you get the AOK from the Dr though.

I didn't have a C-section so I can't comment on the wifely duties bit...personally I didn't want to do anything till I was cleared that everything was healed.

As far as exercising I'd say go for it, just take it slow and don't push yourself too much at first; which you probably wouldn't do anyways even if you were cleared today.

I would wait to be cleared, another few days on top of 6 weeks won't kill your housework or DH.

Wait...

You don't want to prolong your health and well being by doing something this weekend. If you are 100%, great, but do you want to chance it?

Does your incision hurt???  I think the housework might be worse for you than the sex!  I had a csection and everything was great in that area.  I was worried about my incision but it didn't hurt at all.  If you are feeling good, just listen to your body and stop either one if you feel any pain or stress!

Thanks! I figured I should wait but thought I'd ask the experts .
