When can I start exercising?

Question

I'm 10 days postpartum and I had a C-section. I'm not feeling 100% yet, but I would like to start going for short walks. Would that be okay this early? Also, around when will the doc release me for regular exercise?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Walks would be a good idea as long as you feel up to it. You need ot listen to your body and don't over do it.

Answer 2

Everyone is different and everyone heals differently. You should either wait until your post-delivery appt with your OB or just call him to ask. He or she will probably tell you to wait until you have had your appt.

Answer 3

I think short walks are great, but you should ask the doctors about regular exercise.
