OK to Workout again?

Alyssa102 · May 2010

I had a very healthy pregnancy, I gained about 40 LBS, but lost 20LBS right away after the baby was born. I had a tear, which needed stitches and another very small tear which they said they weren't going to bother stitching. I am still bleeding a little.

When is it ok to start working out again, or should I wait unitl my 6 week appt. and get the ok from doc?

Wait or regret it.

You can go on walks but anything more intense put you at risk.

I know it's hard, but wait out the six weeks before working out. Better to be safe than sorry.

doc wanted me to wait until my app at 5 weeks.

I started walking right away, but I don't really consider that working out. I waited for everything else.

Wait for the okay from your doc. You might be able to get it early. I got mine at 3 weeks

walking, stretching (maybe light yoga), kegels, pelvic tilts, and things like that are ok.
