Hi all


My son was born by Caesarian section 11 days ago. Although still very much recovering, I am feeling better by the day and am keen to start incorporating some exercise into my routine again.


I'm starting with walking as that seems to be enough for now, but I'd be interested in joining a yoga or pilates group in the near future. Does anyone have any experience of doing these after a Caesarian, and if so, how long did you wait before starting? Are there any specialist classes locally?


Any feedback, thoughts or advice much appreciated.

Jelly Belly does just that. Started by Kellie who lives locally she does one to one or group classes (at Dulwich Therapy Rooms) specially designed for post c-section women. I worked with Kellie after my little boy was born earlier this year. She's lovely and it's a great gentle way back into fitness

Think its 8 weeks that you're meant to wait but Kellie can tell you

Do NOT rush it. I ended up ripping the top layer of c=section stitches... I felt very stupid, and the area I ripped took months longer to heal. Wait at least until your check up with the doctor at 6-8 weeks (and ideally even longer). After all, what's the rush?
I agree with newcomer - I had two c sections. Take it easy, bond with your baby at home in the warm. Put your feet up and rest whenever you can. Breastfeeding is the best way to get your body back in shape (but if you're not, don't beat yourself up about it).

My consultant told me to wait until my 6 week checkup before resuming any exercise. At least have the doctor's go ahead before you start anything no matter how well you feel. I've had 2 sections and will be having my third in a weeks time so would think that pushing a newborn in a pram and going for long walks would be a good start. I did Liz's Powerpramming (user Goodliz) class in Dulwich Park with my first and really enjoyed it.


Best of luck with your recovery.

Hi,

Congratulations on your new baby.

You need to give it at least 10 weeks to recover before exercising. It is a major operation.

Please see my website www.powerpramming.co.uk for details of my classes and general post natal exercise advice.

All the best,

Liz Stuart

Thanks everyone.


Worry not...I'm in no rush to overdo it, but I know how quickly classes and courses fill up in East Dulwich so just wanted to put the feelers out there really and register my interest well in advance.


The post c-sec pilates and the powerpramming both sound great, so thanks for pointing me in the direction of these.

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
