Answer 2

It depends on whether you are breast-feeding or not. If not, you can start working out as soon as it feels comfortable for you. If you are breast-feeding, it is recommended that you avoid any intense regular work-outs. Your body is working hard to produce milk, which helps a lot of women get back to their pre-pregnancy weight. It is not a good idea to begin a weight-loss program while nursing. Your body also releases chemicals when you exercise hard and these chemicals are released into the breastmilk. Endorphins that may be good for you are not for the baby.

I wouldn't start any strenuous exercise until after your six week check-up because you can cause yourself to have heavy bleeding and lead to other complications. Try a light workout like taking walks and Kegel Exercise.
