Mummies, how often did you exercise post delivery? Many mums are too busy breastfeeding or with other chores to even spare time to exercise.

Give it at least six weeks A general rule would be to wait for at least six weeks after delivery before taking up workout programmes other than walking, which is a good way to ease back into exercise. Avoid sit-ups, running or aerobic exercises, until your uterus has returned to its normal size and the pelvic floor has recovered. Vigorous exercise may strain your pelvic floor muscles and cause incontinence or prolapse if you start too soon. Work on pelvic floor muscles first However, you can begin exercises that strengthen pelvic floor muscles whenever you feel ready after giving birth. They help reduce the likelihood of leaks during exercise. At least 3x a week would be good.
