I could not even walk and sit right until 2 months after my c-sec (I poped some stapels that night when they asked me to slide into my bed) I was very sick. Its been 4 months and Im now working out at curves.. Before I tryed but my scar hurt alot. But Its ok now.. I hated everything about the c-sec…

I always feel it’s best to follow the doctor’s advice on this stuff.

I’ve learned from my mother and other women who DIDN’T listen what can happen when you don’t.

My mother’s uterus was not in position (it was tilted) because of lifting and carrying me too soon after the birth of my sister… and having a doctor push it back to place is not fun… and she has always had trouble with the feel of how it’s all situated since.

I’ve known some women to literally say that theirs feels like it’s falling out… that they feel it fall forward at times… and have to wear girdles to feel normal.

I followed my doctor’s directions about aftercare to a T with all my kids… and even my mil’s advice that, after having a baby, no matter how good I felt, not to push a broom or anything (getting down on all fours and lightly dusting/wiping the floors would be fine, but pushing can stretch you and make the bleeding a LOT harder), and I was better for it.

I didn’t listen about the broom at first, because the visiting nurse was coming, and I learned the hard way by getting really dizzy and having some heavy bleeding with huge clots.

So always take your doc’s advice and rest up.

Although I looked huge with my daughter It was all tummy weight.Yeah I looked puffy here and there but after I gave birh about 3 weeks later I was back to my normal size of 110 pounds. I went from 110 to about 125 with my son.I have always been small, but you could always tell I was pregnant. “Very” pregnant.

I must be a freak of nature, but I lost NO weight while breastfeeding, I actually GAINED! Go figure….every woman is different.

I waited til the 6 week mark and still felt uncomfortable doing any ab exercises so i took it really slow. With #2 I did the same thing. I waited til 6 weeks and took it very slow. To this day I still have about 20 pounds of “baby” weight that just didn’t go away.

I lost a ton of weight by breastfeeding. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight by my 6-week postpartum checkup, and shed another 10 pounds after that. I started post-natal yoga after my 6 week check-up and loved it! I still do yoga, and am planning on doing the post-natal classes again after I have this baby at the end of June.

During my first pregnancy I gained over 40lbs which was a lot for my body type. I am only 5’1 and 90 lbs so I was tiny. After having my daughter I was terrified of not losing the weight. Thankfully I never exercised. 2 days after my daughters birth I put on my old jeans with no problem. I was very lucky and yes im people were ill that i could do that right after giving birth. When my daughter was 9 months old we got pregnant again. I gained almost 70 lbs this time. I didnt think anything of losing the weight because it was easy the first time. Well boy was i wrong!! It took me almost a year to get back to the way the looked before. I still have on some of the weight but Im glad. I got sick of being so skinny. Now i can proudly say I weigh 110 and I love it too!! I lost the weight with my son by running after my daughter. Thats the best excercise!!

I followed the rules to a “t” and did not begin until after my 6 week check up but more for fear that something would go wrong than anything else. I applaud her, if she feels great then that’s awesome…while I felt great as early as my 3 or 4 week postp,I wasn’t brave enough to take a run!

it has been almost 16 months and i am still waiting! heehee. so bad i know!
