Cycling after pregnancy

Christina_Diane

Hey Gus. Long time no see!

If you cycled or took spin classes, how long after childbirth did you wait.  I'm hoping to get the ok to exercise at my 6 week pp appointment, but with stitches and some minor tearing, I'm not sure if I'll want to hop on the bike just yet.

I would wait until your doctor gives you the ok at 6 weeks.

Congratulations!!!!

I still haven't been back on the bike, so I'm no help

I've known moms that were back on the bike in a week and those that couldn't ride for a few months. I'd wait to see what your doctor says. Give yourself a few weeks to ease back into it as well. You may not be able to sit on the saddle for 3-4 hours if you used to ride that long until you are fully healed from giving birth. See how you feel and adjust accordingly.

Congrats! I don't bike much, because it hurts my ladybits, so I am of absolutely no use in this post, but wanted to say hi.

Congrats!

I started back after 6 week clearance. I had 2nd degree tearing, but it had healed by that point.

Thanks, ladies. In advance, I want to apoligize for spelling errors also. I'm on my iPad and it s usually a middle of the night feeding.

Ive got four more weeks to go until my six week appointment. I hope I'm feeling up to it by then because this extra weight and loose ab muscles are killing me.
