Exercise and driving
I’m 8 days postpartum and had a second degree tear after delivery. When would I be able to do some light exercise (walking and stretching) and drive?

@Sophie Okay. Thank you.
Hi! It is ideal if the first 40 days you take it really slow. Stretching you can start light from the comfort of your bed how ever feels good to you body. Follow @namastefit on Instagram they are expert in postpartum movement

Driving wise they say if you can’t do an emergancy stop then you cannot drive yet I’d give it another 2 odd weeks before attempting to drive. Exercise taking baby out in the pushchair is classed as light. However I would advise if your still bleeding and fairly heavy wait until your either spotting or not bleeding before you do any sort of work out style exercise
