I gave birth on January 15th. When can I start exercising again?

It is generally recommended to wait 4-6 weeks before resuming physical activity after giving birth. It is important to consult with a doctor or physiotherapist to assess your abdominal and pelvic area before starting any exercise. Gradually reintroducing activities like walking or gentle yoga can be a good way to begin. It is important to avoid high-impact exercises like jumping or running, as they can increase the risk of organ prolapse or worsening of diastasis recti. Make sure to listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
