when is too soon?

Hey just wanted some advice on the matter, my baby is due on 20th august. I used to be on a showteam, singing and dancing. They have asked me to do a few shows in october if the birth goes well (no cesaerean). From your experience does it really take the full 6 weeks to recover if you have had a straightforward birth, or do they say it just to be safe. I'm so determined to get back into shows and get this baby weight off!!

It's a 6 week recovery for c sections. Vaginal births you can start up working out a week later. My mom had natural births and was at the gym a few days later with me an my sister lol.

nope it depends on your body i'd say go ahead and do it but if it causes u pain  then stop, talk to your doctor beforehand he/she will know if you are ready or not

Oo lol sorry haha its like almost 6am here and I take a sleeoing aide for bed but I woke up bc of bad acid reflex lol..ummm idk about that that is something u have to bring up to your doctor but a gf of mine had her baby in march and in april she was going to the gym I think if u dont strain yourself or do alot of movements like splits or anything similar with your legs being open then u will be fine that is if u tear during labor if u dont then u just have to deal with bleeding from labor and your period being followed after that

Just to be clear I don't want my baby here any sooner than he is ready. I just wanted to know whether the 6 week recovery time after was necessary with a straightforward birth :)

I mean whenever the baby wants to come it will come u dont want to really rush anything...the baby lungs need that entire 9 months to develop even though it has a great chance of surviving if born between 35 to 39 weeks...but I mean u could go to watch practices and take mental notes or stand on the sides and just do the rountine to learn it lol !! Dancing is the best I miss it also

I also didn't make it clear that rehearsals will start in September :)
