I am 2 weeks pp and feel up to working out - I just wondered if anyone started this early or if you waited until the all clear at the 6 weeks pp check up...

TIA

    I worked out my entire pregnancy and saw my doctor at 4 weeks PP. I was walking before then but just started running last week. Will add weights next week.

    I have never started working out before the checkup.  I have walked and done things like that... maybe moderate use of an exercise bike, but nothing like a real workout.  Pg is tough and then all the body and hormone changes that come with the baby's birth... I give my body a 1 month break after all the work it has done!

    I started walking 3 miles 4 days after giving birth.  I started running again 3 weeks after giving birth (but I had run up to and including the day I was induced).  I waited to go to the gym for workouts until my 6 week checkup.

    I would wait until your post partum checkup, honestly.

    You may feel ok, but not be healed yet.

    I was told to take it easy for 6 weeks. When in doubt call  your doctor, but really take it easy for right now IMHO.
