after 6 week apt, how much is too much?

STM's, how did you know you were doing too much after your 6 week appointment, if at all? I am a very all or nothing person.. Since the doctor said I can "resume all normal activity" I plan to do exactly that. However, I want to know what to look for if I am doing too much.

For example, I went for a run tonight and now I am more sore "down there". Is that normal or did I just push it too much?

    I would say you pushed too much. Just because when I started back up i had stopped bleeding but was a bit sore, kept at it, and one or two days later i was bleeding again and as sore as i was when i came back from the hospital. Then again eerybody's different.

    I'm 5 weeks and 1 day out and I did hair all weekend long, I'm a cosmetologist. By the end of last night my lady bits were throbbing. I would say I over did it. Normal, yes. Did you push it, yes.

    Thanks ladies. I am just so eager to start working out again. Its frustrating to be so limited still!

    Agreed. I was in a lot of pain Sunday evening and it really took me by surprise.

    Are you a FTM @cassietegtmeier? I think what had been the hardest is that I keep comparing my recovery to some of my other friends who had babies around the same time, but we all heal differently. I guess I just assumed by 6 weeks, I would be good to do whatever!! Hopefully it gets easier after each baby.

    I played softball last night after hitting the 6 week mark and I HIGHLY a underestimated the difference of my body. I had jogged and been okay. Instinct kicked in and I tried to run and both of my legs gave out. Not only am I dealing with normal soreness, I have scrapes all over my legs and elbow. My legs felt like when I got out of bed the first time after my epidural.

    Definitely different!!!
