Postpartum exercises?

Exercise during the postpartum period varies depending on how much time has passed since delivery and the type of birth. Generally:
For the first 2-3 weeks, only breathing exercises and light walking are recommended. After vaginal delivery, Kegel exercises targeting pelvic floor muscles can begin after 3-4 weeks with doctor approval. After cesarean, 6-8 weeks should pass before starting these. Abdominal exercises usually require waiting 6-12 weeks.
The main goal of postpartum exercises is to regain muscle strength, correct posture, and support the pelvic floor — not to lose weight. If bleeding increases, severe pain, or dizziness occurs, exercise should be stopped and a doctor consulted.
The safest start: ask your doctor at your postpartum check-up appointment 'which exercises can I start and when.'
