When did/can you start working out?

I’m 4 weeks postpartum tomorrow and want to start working out as I’m getting married in just under six months. I remember with my first they said not for 6-8 weeks but I feel healed and well?

You need dr clearance before working out and typically you won't get that till about 6 weeks. Call your Dr and ask them

Yeah I agree with above. Usually it’s around 8 weeks for a c section. You could start walking if you’d like but slow and steady and not super far

6-8 weeks minimum depending on healing. Don’t push yourself-huge risk of hurting yourself more and then being really screwed for your wedding. If you feel good walking is really good for you!

Thank you all! Long walks with my little ones it is for now. Wouldn’t want to push myself too far xx
