How long after childbirth can a pregnant woman start exercising?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Natural childbirth mothers without postpartum hemorrhage: You can get up and walk around 2 to 3 days after delivery. After 3 to 5 days, you can start doing pelvic floor exercises. By two weeks postpartum, you can engage in gentle stretching exercises or flexibility training.
Cesarean section mothers: Depending on the healing of the wound, generally speaking, you can start doing stretching exercises one month after delivery, while exercises to strengthen abdominal muscles are suitable only after 6 to 8 weeks postpartum.
