    I'm sorry for your loss.  I believe that my doc told me that I should wait until the bleeding stopped before resuming those activities.  It took about 8 weeks after the D&C for that to happen.  I had no desire to workout, just to sulk. I'd listen to your body and start off slow.

    Sorry for your loss.

    No experience with D&C, though I did have 2 mc's.  If you are really wanting to do something, start with short, slow walks until the doc approves you for more.

    I am so sorry for your loss.  I would start off slow. like walks. until you feel like doing more.

    the reason they dont want you to have sex or swim is the risk of infection.

    Sorry for your loss.  I started a couple weeks after my D&C, but went slow.  Listen to your body and take your time.  I do believe that exercise is great for the mind body and soul.

    Sorry for your loss!  When I had my m/c (natural no D&C) my Dr said no swimming and working out until about 2 weeks after.  I followed orders (it was hard not go for a run!) def talk to your dr, but I would think if you can't do heavy lifting working out would be very limited.  If anything go for walks!!!  When I finally got back into running after my m/c I trained for a 15k and honestly it really helped me mentally recover!!!  hope nothing but the best for you!
