Exercise after baby– Do you really need to wait 6 weeks?
One of the most common questions I receive is “When is it safe to return to exercise after childbirth?”
Well, it just depends what you mean by “exercise”, but specific exercises can be very beneficial to help your body recover right after childbirth, regardless of the way you gave birth.
Of course, I’m not talking about exercises like running postpartum, jumping jacks, front planks or crunches!
Gentle exercises based on breathing are hugely beneficial to awaken your core and pelvic floor muscles to progressively regain your strength, recover quickly, and properly.
“The Immediate Postpartum Program is a game changer for me. The recovery is so much better and faster this time around.
The exercises are great. They are helping me to awaken my body.
I can’t thank you enough for creating this program!
Thank you Julie!!!”
“Ladies, for anyone wanting to get their abs back after pregnancy, and or repair your Diastasis Recti I hugely recommend you check out Our Fit Family Life’s immediate postpartum program. It will ease anyone back into shape slowly and correctly! ⠀
After the birth of my daughter I rushed back into my training too quick and was doing a Guinness World Record 2 months after a c section! Looking back now I was insane! but in doing so I gave myself Diastasis Recti, and up until falling pregnant with my son I had it. Which was 2 years later! ⠀
Since following this program and doing the right recovery, my abs are already in better shape now, than they were prior to pregnancy! I am so happy! ⠀
So anyone looking for a good program to follow, check it out! ⠀”
““I started following Julie after my first birth. I had a very difficult delivery and had a deep Diastasis, pelvic floor dysfunction, and genital prolapse. Even with physical therapy I had no improvement. After about 3 months of doing Julie’s exercises together with good physical therapy I managed to close the Diastasis and regress the prolapse.
I soon became pregnant again and followed her Pregnancy Program to control the Diastasis and protect my pelvic floor. I had a good pregnancy and now following the postpartum program I am having a surprising result. I recommend Julie’s exercises to all of the women I know!””
The foundation needs to be laid
Most of the time, new Moms are told to wait for their doctor’s green light to resume exercise after baby… then at 6 or 8 weeks postpartum, they think that they can simply jump back into whatever activity they want!
But if you’ve already had a baby, you know that new Moms are actually doing many physical things before receiving the approval to return to activity and start postnatal exercise…
I remember perfectly the constant breastfeeding sessions, getting up from bed 4 times a night, putting the car seat on the stroller, without mentioning caring for any other children as well. So obviously, at 6 weeks postpartum, your strength and core don’t just bounce back like magic! The foundation needs to be laid, and here, we’ll do just that.

Safely return to exercise after baby
Remember, your body needed 9 months to grow your baby, it now needs some nurturing and affection, to recover properly, and re-build fitness and strength.
Pregnancy and childbirth are natural processes, but they can take a toll on our bodies, especially if we neglect this very sensitive immediate postpartum period.
I'll share exactly what I did to stimulate my own recovery, and I’ll guide you on the road to help your body heal and steer clear of the common mistakes too many new Moms make when they resume exercise after baby. The postpartum time period will fly by, and you’ll feel like yourself again, sooner than you think.
We don’t just bounce right back after giving birth
It’s so frustrating to see that many of us end up with a severe Diastasis Recti, pelvic floor function issues or postpartum back pain that could have been avoided with the correct guidance and postnatal exercise after pregnancy.
I wish every new Mom returned home with the postpartum tips and gentle exercises I’m about to share with you!
The 6 to 8 weeks following delivery are critical, not only for your short-term recovery, but also for your future as a mom, wife, women… and for potential future pregnancies!
Take care!
