How long after a normal birth can you start running?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If you had a normal delivery without an episiotomy, you can start doing light exercises one week later. Engage in gentle movements, and you can do exercises like sit-ups while lying in bed. It's best to wait until after the postpartum period to start running. If you had an episiotomy, you must wait until the wound has fully healed before doing the aforementioned exercises.
