you can start walking right away just dont go up steep hills. my doc told me to wait until after my 6 week pp check up to start lifting weight or running.

Both require your doctor's okay. Main thing is to listen to your body as well.

it also depends on the way you deliver. if you have a csection it might be more difficult to get around, or if you have an episiotomy it will be also. i had an episiotomy and i was told to minimize stairs to 1-2 times a day only fi necessary. also you can start walkign when you feel comfortable, just read your body and dont over do it.

Thanks for your replies!
