with my first i ran 4 miles, 4 weeks after having him & felt great!
this time im tempted to start a very slow run, or a walk now,,, just 2 weeks pp.
im not trying to lose weight but i definitly want to feel better about myself. running has always been my go-to, so thats why im tempted but i'll take suggestions if anyone has tried working out
tia!!
Re: anyone working out before the 6 week check up?
Nope Dealing with S-I joint and tailbone displacement as a result of LO causing some problems. I'm in physical therapy which is *so* not high-impact.
I'm going nuts. We go for walks together at the mall etc. but I'm definitely not fitting into my bridesmaids dress in a month. Ugh...
I'm 3 weeks pp and had a c-section so a bit more to recover from, I suppose. I am a runner but didn't run during my pregnancy. I kept fit with walking/hiking and yoga. Now I'm up to walking 2 miles with hills. Doesn't seem like much at all compared to my 4-6 mile runs but it is what it is. I'm not waiting until my 6 week appt to start jogging. If I feel up for it I'll jog a bit on one of my walks, but I also know that I need to be very cautious as I don't want to derail my recovery from surgery.
Also, I'm still bleeding which serves as a reminder to me to take it easy. That said, I need fresh air on a daily basis!
