Do you think its safe to exercise and run 2 weeks after u have a baby?
How many of you experienced mothers are able to go back to working out and training after having a baby? Any experiences or any advice?

You prob won't want to even if you have no stitched.  Pain from breastfeeding and you can be bleeding still.

Depends on your delivery as well and whether or not you have any stitches etc. I started walking regularly after 2 or 3 weeks (can't remember exactly) with my first and I had a csection. Worked wonders for helping recovery as long as I didn't push too hard. Listen to your body it's just gone through a lot!

Normally it is suggested that you wait until after your 6 week check up. I think it depends on your level of fitness and whether or not you exercised regularly through your pregnancy. Gentle walking should be ok, not sure about running though. I was wondering this myself. I'm due today (still no baby) and I'm super keen for baby to come so I can start running again! I can't believe how much I've missed it
