Getting back to working out

It's been a little over 3 wks since my csection and I've been wondering how long to wait before getting back to exercising? Of course I know I still need to take it easy but I've been feeling pretty good for the last 2 wks and I've been itching to hit the gym or at least back to walking the usual 3-5 miles I used to do while I was pregnant (depending on how I feel).

What do you all think? How long did you all wait?

i'd wait atleast 6 weeks you need to heal

you should probably wait for the okay from your Doc. at your 6 weeks PP check..

I started walking at 4 weeks...and I hadn't been nearly as active as you during my pregnancy. I don't think I would do any more than that until after your 6 week check up though. You know your body and how you're feeling. Your body will tell you if you're doing too much.

i dont know..but dont try to do too much too soon..my paps grandma had a baby an her husband made her do all the work around the house splitting wood an going back to work an all after just two weeks an she ended up dying..it was just too much for her..sad..i never got to know her..

Yea I doubt I'll do as much as I did while pregnant, I was thinking of just going walking for 20-30 min maybe,again, depending on how I feel,and taking baby along with me that way we both get out and get some fresh air. Her ped gave me the ok I would just need to get the ok from my dr. The only thing about my dr is she's very "if you dont have to do it, then dont" so we'll see.

Oh wow, that's insane! I'm sorry about that   I'm def taking it easy, I wouldnt want to put myself at risk for anything, I've just been so antsy and I've been feeling pretty goodfor a while so I figured I could at least take a few walks.

im sure youll be fine..this was yrs ago..an my paps pap was lazy so he made her do everything..its really sad..but theres a girl who just had a baby like a week or so ago an shes back to walking..i seen her walking her baby around..as long as you dont go too much into it..youll be fine..
