overdoing it with aerobic exercise 6 months post c-section?
It has been almost 6 months since the cesarean birth of my second
baby. At 6 weeks postpartum, I was told that my incision looked great and my uterus was completely back to normal. I started exercise again gradually. I felt well enough to go out for walks again at 2-3 months. (Personally, I'm shocked when I hear of women starting aerobics 3-6 weeks after their c-sections! Maybe there is something wrong with me or my surgeon wasn't as skilled?) At 5 1/2 months after the cesarean, I started interval training....jogging very lightly for 100-200 meters and then walking 100-200 minutes...for a total of 15-25 minutes. Things were going fine until our beach vacation last weekend. I worked out with my mother-in-law twice, who is in much better physical shape than I am. I also did a lot more walking than usually (probably over 10 miles each day). I must have overdone it. My lower abdomen has been aching mildly ever since. I also had an usual vag. discharge at the time, but it has since stopped. My question is this...Is it possible to cause damage to the incision 6 months after the fact? I thought I would be recovered by now, or else I would not have resumed such a rigorous exercise program. Has anyone else had a similiar experience? Kristine |
