I feel fine and totally ready to start working out. is it safe for me to do some ab workouts and some leg and butt exercises? when did everyone else start doing some exercises after having a baby?...I also worked out all the time before i got pregnant and workedout during my entire pregnancy.

a little mild walking or maybe some swimming is ok but hold off on any muscle toning exercises until the 6 week mark (standard time the dr will give you).
your body really needs that time to heal and get back to normal.
congrats on the little one!!!

I waited about a month before I started working out. I couldn't stand not doing something to burn off the weight I had gained, but I only did lighter exercises beforehand so I'm sure you would be fine to start slow and work your way back to normal.

I know how ya feel. You could walk. Hold off on the ab workouts until you get the ok from your dr. When your baby is 6 weeks old you should get the ok to pretty much do whatever you want. Congratulations on the baby!

I can really appreciate a woman who wants to work out right after a baby.
Just take your time and do what the dr. says. You don't want anything to get hurt.
I'm sure some walking would be fine to start off, but 3 weeks is a while. Be sure not to just jump right into the heavy work-outs.

Then go ahead. You can do anything during and after pregnancy that you did before. You were pregnant, not sick.
Congrats!
