i gave birth on may the 5th and i was planning on doing situps and kegals to get back to shape and walking when my stitches heal so theres no pain but when is the earliest i can start doing these things to get back into shape
I think kegals is ok right away. Then slowly walking more and more. My nurse says you know your doing too much if your bleeding gets heavier then take it easy.
I agree with the previous poster. For anything more vigorous you should wait at least until you have had your 6 week check up.
I started doing too much too soon, and my bleeding did get heavier. That's how I knew to slow down.
Good luck, and congrats!
I waited the full 6 weeks. I had a C-Section and could not do anything. My DS is 7 weeks old now and I am walking 2 miles a day and doing Pilates..I have to start slow and build back up! I would probably wait the 6 weeks to do anything just to be on the safe side.
when is it ok to work out after haveing baby?
