You will also improve your fitness levels. you can start to do some gentle exercise such as walking, pelvic floor exercises and stretching, as soon as you feel up to it. However, you should wait six weeks or so, or until you feel that you ve recovered from the birth, before taking up more strenuous exercise. Or you could exercise with your baby. Take your baby for walks in her pushchair, or try a pram-based exercise class. Fresh air also help to lift your mood. Please write to me for any clarification or any further information.
