My gynae advised no exercise, no squatting for 6 weeks after birth.. I had a natural vaginal birth.. I would advise you not to exercise during confinement ba.. please take this time to rest well and recover fully!!

Thanks for your advise!

During confinement can only do pelvic floor exercise. My gynae say can only start exercise like running after 3 weeks based on the rate my wound was healing. But I only started after 6 weeks.

Not sure about exercising during confinement, better wait for gynae to give the green light

I did.. I did yoga. But depends on your body and whether you had csect or natural birth.

Hi, I would suggest wait and also consult your gynae on when can you start

Yes, my confinement nanny told me to avoid swimming. The rest is fine.
