When did you start exercising postpartum? My doctor said 6 weeks but that seems a little long. I will obviously listen to my body, but I would like to start running and begin weights (even if only body weight for a bit) soon.
I am 2 weeks post partum and plan on going to the gym this week. I have felt great since 1 week but decided to give me body a little bit longer to recover, but am going crazy not being able to exercise.
I say go for it if you are feeling up to it. If you feel sore you can always stop or decrease your intensity.
I have to wait the full 6 weeks and was put on restricted activity when I first got pg. I was training for a marathon and now I'm starting all over again. However, when I have the clear, I have set up my regiment already (yoga/weights/running).
