Having recently had my second baby, I thought I’d remind you
of what types of exercise, as well as when one can start exercising following
giving birth. Of course, post-pregnancy exercise depends on whether you have had
a natural birth or a Caesarean section, and also the level of fitness you
managed to maintain during your pregnancy. These are only guidelines – always
check with your doctor before starting any exercise programme following giving
birth, especially if you had any complications during pregnancy or birth.
Regardless of whether you had a natural birth or a Caesar,
the body takes about six weeks to heal from the labour and/or surgery and so
one must use this time to rest and recover and focus on your new born baby. Your
body has undergone many changes over a period of nine months, so it will take
time to get back to what it was before. However, one can start very gentle
pelvic floor exercises the day after delivery, and light walking within your
pain limits can begin one week later and is good for both your body and mind.
Use pain as a guide – if you experience any discomfort, stop whatever you are doing
immediately.
About six weeks post-delivery, your body should start to
feel a little more normal again. You can increase your pelvic floor exercises
and walking as you feel comfortable. Provided your surgical wound has healed
without any complications and your doctor gives you the go-ahead, you can start
swimming. After 12 weeks, gentle cardio, as well as light resistance exercises
can be started, again provided your doctor has cleared you for this. Again, use
pain as your guide and stop immediately if you experience any discomfort. Start
slowly with whatever it is you are doing and increase gradually within your pain-free
limits. Remember: even if you kept fit during pregnancy, your body has
undergone a huge amount of trauma, whether it be from labour or surgery or
both. If you laboured and still had a Caesar, the trauma to the body is even greater
and so you will take a little longer to recover. Always listen to your body!
If you feel like you need some company or a little guidance,
consider joining group classes, such as a Pilates class, or consult a
biokineticist who will provide you with an appropriate exercise programme.
Exercise is like medicine for your body and mind and will
help you to feel like yourself again after a long process of many changes.
Embrace your new body and work within its limits. Take your baby for walks with
you and enjoy the special time together.

ReplyDeleteI was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
