Disadvantages of exercising for 8 days after giving birth to a child
Stitches can come open: If the delivery is normal, exercising immediately is harmful. This can cause the stitches to open. In such cases, bleeding often occurs, which takes a long time to heal.
Rupture of the uterus: If we talk about C section, the external stitches heal in 7-10 days, but the internal stitches take about 3 months to heal. In such a situation, the pregnant woman can neither lift any heavy things nor bear any pressure on the stomach. Doing so can cause the uterus to burst.
The uterus may prolapse: In both types of delivery, the pelvic muscles are greatly affected. They become weak. In such a situation, starting workouts early increases the risk of the uterus slipping forward.
When can you start exercising after delivery?
Experts believe that any woman should rest for at least 40 days after delivery. Adequate rest does not put pressure on the stitches and they heal very quickly. Therefore, one should think of doing any physical exercise only after at least 12 weeks.
