For those who wanted/like to workout... When did y'all start back after birth? I know you have to give your body time before doing really intense stuff but I really want to get back to at least doing Pilates. I'm feeling pretty good but I don't want to start then mess up my recovery time. I'm dying to work out I miss it so much 😭 I feel like crap and lazy for a mom 😅
I waited 9 weeks. Wanted to 6 weeks but I got my birth control put in & I was cramping like a mofo!
I'm about to start running again. the only thing stopping me was a hurting vagina but I was out at the mall for hours and it didn't hurt so I'm starting up hopefully tomorrow
@pilypilypily, ahh ok. I was insanely active before pregnancy but during pregnancy I didn't do as much. I'll try a little here and there and try to increase it that way as comfortable as I can. Thanks!
I waited 5 weeks with my near-2 y/o and 3 weeks with my 8 month old. But I worked out 6 days a week with pretty rigorous programs up until the day I delivered, and I had 2 very easy, vaginal deliveries and stopped bleeding very quickly. That said, I didn't go crazy, because typically you're to wait 6 weeks...I did the Active Maternity postnatal workouts with Autumn Calabrese and then I did some PiYo...Before diving headstrong into Insanity.
