Maybe too much too soon?

I got the clear at six weeks to start to exercise again. Yesterday I ran/walked two miles. I was bleeding again last night. Do you think it was too much too soon and thats why I started bleeding again? When did your body cooperate with exercise again?

    Why in the heck would you start out running? You just had a baby. Start slowly with a walk. I started exercising right at 6 weeks also, but I took my time and started slowly. So, yeah, I think you probably did too much.

    Yes probably stupid. Thats not a lot for me normally. My mileage is much higher and I dont take walk breaks. So I actually did think that was starting off slow. But apparently my body must not agree. I probably should have walked. I guess I was chomping at the bit to get that clearance.

    Yes, to much to soon. I am guessing since you are on the c-section board you had one.

    My doc says not to do anything for 12 weeks. Well he says a light walk is fine. He said he rather be on the safer side than not. You had major surgery and need to heal.

    Last time I did much more house work than I should have. This time around I am telling my entire family that I am going to take advantage of doing nothing and resting. I deserve it.

    It was more like 12 weeks before I could even do minimal exercise

    I don't think you were crazy for going for a run, but likely the run just pushed some blood out.

    I'd take it easy and listen to your body. If you feel like running, go for it, but if it causes bleeding, then cut back. If it feels good, keep at it.
