  In large part, it depends how you're feeling.  I played roller derby and *plan* to start skating again at about 6 weeks postpartum.  As long as you're feeling up to it and your doctor has given you the thumbs up, just ease yourself back into exercise and you should be fine.

  Sorry, I am totally lurking from 2nd tri. I am a ski patroller and plan to ski and work as long as possible ( prob til end of Jan.) and hope to get out for at least the last week of the season so if there is a clear answer to this it would be great. However, my guess is that it would depend upon what happens during L&D...Then on how you are feeling? I wouldn't buy a full day pass though.

  I agree that a c-section should mean you're out of commission for a few more weeks. I was hoping that there are some guidelines doctors use to dish out their recommendations.

  I believe the general guideline most doctors recommend is 6 weeks for a vaginal delivery (starting off slowly and using common sense).
