What should I know about postpartum exercise?

Postpartum exercise is essential for recovery and overall well-being. After giving birth, it's important to listen to your body and start slowly. Gentle exercises like walking or pelvic floor exercises can help you regain strength. The NHS recommends waiting at least six weeks after a vaginal delivery or eight weeks after a cesarean section before starting more intense workouts, but you should always consult your GP or midwife first. Focus on core strength and pelvic floor exercises, as these can significantly aid in your recovery process.
