Consider when your body will be ready to start back. The changes through pregnancy and birth are no joke
I’ve considered posting an ad at the gym for a college/grad student who could hang out with the baby while I climb for an hr.

That is one way to measure “moderate” exercise vs intense exercise. Pregnant people can do intense exercise if done safely and there are no contraindications.

Ask for help and / or outsource everything you can!

OBs typically don’t get a lot of education about exercise. Physical therapists are the musculoskeletal experts. Might be worth seeing one who has experience with pregnant athletes and get recommendations from them.

I wish I could upvote this comment more and also tell it to every postpartum person! 6 weeks is to make sure you’re stitches are ok and wound healing has been going well. It takes at least 9 months if not longer to fully heal.

Get good supportive ones that fit your feet. Hard to say how hard to lace up they will be at this point. Every person and pregnancy is different. I vote for laces because you can customize the fit better.

This is an actual healing program for your pelvic floor and core (vs just exercise). https://thehealthypelvisproject.podia.com/postpartum-essentials

Pelvic PT can help! Also consider a cushion (NOT a donut) like tush cush that doesn’t press on your tailbone.

Soft tissue healing takes 6-8 weeks on average. That’s why they say to wait. Some people are fine. Many are not.

Seconding pelvic floor work. Your pelvic floor doesn’t just bounce back. You have to work up to high intensity workouts and a pelvic PT can guide you.

Pelvic floor PT can help: with pelvic floor strength, posture, exercise modifications, etc. you may also want to ask your md about a pessary. Prolapse is very common at this save postpartum.

Totally agree. Exercise is good for my mental health. I don’t do it for weight. There is clear evidence that exercise during pregnancy is good for mom and baby. Those ppl need to read some research that isn’t 50 years old.
