How long after giving birth can I start strenuous exercise?

After giving birth, many women think about their beautiful figure before pregnancy. Most women want to lose weight regularly after giving birth, and many even go to the gym to lose weight. In fact, many women don’t know that they should not do strenuous exercise too early after giving birth, as it can easily cause wound rupture or inflammation, etc., which is actually very bad for female friends. Let me share my experience with you.

Steps/Methods:

1. Generally speaking, you can only exercise after giving birth after one month, and then only do some light exercise. If you are a pregnant woman who has a caesarean section, then it depends on the healing of the wound after giving birth. Some women's wounds heal faster, so they can do some light exercise, but some people cannot. It is recommended to get a doctor's judgment.

2. Regardless of whether it is a caesarean section or a natural birth, you need to sit for at least one month after giving birth. After that, you can slowly exercise, such as sitting or standing, and getting out of bed for a little exercise. However, try not to do strenuous exercise for about half a year after giving birth, as it can easily cause uterine prolapse.

3. You still need to go back to the hospital for a check-up about one month after giving birth. If there are no other problems, you can have sex, but it should not be too intense because the uterus is still in the recovery stage after giving birth. At this time, intense exercise will cause uterine bleeding or endometriosis.

Note:

After giving birth, try to supplement enough nutrients. The mother should eat more foods rich in protein, such as eggs and chicken, etc. These foods are helpful for the mother's physical recovery.
