Currently I am 37 weeks pregnant and am still going to the gym at least twice a week. (to be fair im not doing much now, low weights, taking it easy kind of thing)
I have always been a gym goer and love exercising (yes im one of those people who generally get a buzz from working out – although Ive always been a size 10/12 and I don’t diet or anything – I just generally really enjoy the gym/fitness classes )
After baby arrives in an ideal world if birth all goes to plan how long should I expect to be away from the gym?
AIBU to ask you to tell me how long after giving birth you waited before going back to the gym to do any sort of exercise. (yes I know I can go walking / swimming etc but they just don’t cut it for me)
Now I KNOW I shouldn’t be worried about this, but I am. The gym is my happy place and generally always has had a positive effect on my mental frame of mind. I don’t plan to rush a return to exercise until I feel my body is ready and will be listening to my body and taking it easy when I do return.
Just looking for a bit of advice / experience really.
