Not being a yoga practitioner I will share what I know about regular exercise. If you have been doing this all along you should be able to return fairly soon after a vaginal delivery(1-3eeks) c-sections take considerably longer(6 weeks+) as there are layers of muscle and tissue that need to heal slowly to heal completely your OB will tell you when its okay to start either way just remember your body went thru a huge ordeal to give birth and as with anything it takes a little while for things to get back to normal. Eat well and get plenty of rest this will help your body the most so you can get back to yoga\n\nBTW I have heard that yoga helps a great deal in preparing your body for natural childbirth.\n\nGood luck

I would love to invest more time in both esp. yoga. I work 12-14 hour days 3-4 days a week and I have 2 kids. I'm tired. When I sit down to relax into yoga I usually fall asleep or get so tired, I don't care do do anything. I do love to do it though, if you have any advice email me.

you can lift heavy objects if you are pregnant as long as you lifted them before you got pr.  I know people who have bowled until they gave birth.  I carried heavy manicans up latters until I was 9 months pg. but it can cause strain on the baby if you lift it above your head, or if you don't do it regularly, also every baby and every body is different.  sometimes it's better not to take the chance.  some people are very active before they get pg and have to be on bed rest while they are pg.

Completely normal, and yes they will decrease when the hormones return to normal after tha baby is here, unless you plan to breastfeed.. then a while after stopping with breastfeeding they will return to normal.. \n\nAnd yes.. you should be able to get back to 119 after .. but don't rush it..usually with the first baby you bounce back fairly quickly...Don't diet during the first 3 months though. Just exersice normally.

Yes you can, unless your doctor recommends that you do not.  Check with your doctor to see which work outs would be best for you.  Most gyms have programs specifically for pregnancy and/or post-pregnancy.  If the gym isn't your style, there are many work-out DVDs that are for pregnancy.  The best workout in my opinion is walking though.  Find a nice walking trail or just take a few laps around the mall.....it helps maintain calories and best of all it is free.

most doctors advise 6-8 weekds before having aex again. I think that as long as you are comfortable and don't have any complications then you should be okay to have sex. I had c section deliveries and we went back to love making 2 weeks after the baby was born.

The pranayam part of yoga is just breathing and meditation which is completely safe and beneficial even during pregnancy. Alot of times pranayam is paired with more physical areas of yoga were it becomes an exercise. Almost every kind of exercise is safe if you have a normal pregnancy and don't over do it. If you have never done yoga or a similar exercises before you should check with the doctor first. If your doctor clears you, start out slowly and don't overexert yourself.

It depends on your age, how long ago was your baby born and the type of exercises you do for your tummy.?  It could take months to get your tummy back into shape but honestly, it will never be the same as it was before having "surgery" and giving birth.  I have had three children (the first and third were C's because they were breach) and after the second C, my tummy has not been the same.  I am 14 months down the road and it is much better but not the same.

It depends on how long ago you had the caesar. You shouldn't be doing any exercise for the first 6 weeks- except for short walks when you feel up to it. After the 6 weeks you can go back to normal. The biggest thing to remember is not to do anything that you don't feel ready for, trust your body and never strain yourself after a caesar. I've had 2 caesars and haven't had any problems after either, i spend the first 3-4 weeks not doing much and then i start going for short walks when i feel up to it, but i never push myself. You have to be so cautious for the first 6 weeks, you have had a major operation and over doing things before you are ready can have really bad effects on your body, and then you wont be able to do anything for even longer! It's important when the 6 weeks are up to start you're pelvic floor exercises along with other exercise, this helps to tighten things back up again and helps prevent incontinence.

Typical break takes 4-6 weeks

Registered Nurse here; That would be a great big YES! providing there are no complications.  In fact many go back to regular activities the very next day.  Some the same day, which is discouraged, should not be done, and please don't be one that does. Follow your instructions to the letter after the procedure and you'll be fine.  Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question.

If you're a beginner, I would highly suggest practising yoga for less than an hour at first until your body gets more used to the stretching and holding your body up. I would start off doing it for half an hour.\n\nWhether you take a class or practise at home is up to your personal preferences. Personally, I do both because I can't always make it to a class.

madam,\n\n         it is advised not to have an intercourse, whether protected or unprotected, until 6 weeks after a normal delivery, as the female genital tract takes that much time to recover from changed during pregnancy and labor.\n\n during delivery there will be lot of blood clots inside the uterus, everything of them is difficult to remove by any doctor, and which will come down by their own.\n\nby having an intercourse, u forced them to come down..\n\nthat's it.\n\ndon't be panic, i advice not to repeat it. take rest, consult doctor if necessary.\n\nall the best

My doctor told me to load up on calcium.  I also do sort of a yoga position.  It looks like that statue of Brittany Spears having her baby.  You're on your hands and knees with your arms forward.  It helps get into a comfortable position for a while.
