How soon can I start exercise after my baby’s birth?
6 years, 8 months ago
Every woman is different. Several factors individual to each new mother may affect her starting date, including the labor and birth experience (vaginal vs. c-section), your baby’s disposition, your exercise history, and how much energy you have. Typically, if you were taking prenatal exercise classes, you can return to classes at 3-4 weeks postpartum. Be sure to speak with your physician or nurse midwife about your desire to begin exercise.
