Natural Birth and I heard the old folks say that you shouldn't do much moving and shifting around cause it took 9 months for your body to change and it will take that long for it to change back....What do you think?


Answers:

It really depends--did you have a c-section, or a natural birth? If a C-section, you'll want to wait at least 4-6 weeks, depending on what your physician says. I'd give it two weeks before lifting anything over 10 pounds with a vaginal birth, at least. Call your OB-GYN to be 100% sure!
