I had my c-section 8 weeks ago now. I’ve been wanting to exercise since I got the all clear at my 6w check up but have just been worried that it will somehow affect my supply.
Does exercise have any impact on your supply at all?

Following. due my 6weeks check up but was wondering the same

I’m 4 month PP also had a C section and EBF. I will say I do HIT workouts 5-6x a week and my supply did def drop. When I cut back or do low intensity workouts like walking I can see a difference in my supply increase. The way my doctor explained it was that when you exercise you are burning all these calories. So if you are gonna exercise you have to eat even more calories. Like 2500/ day. It’s the calorie deficit that causes the supply to decrease.
