Train with your baby to recover after delivery with these 10 exercises

It is completely normal that after pregnancy your body undergoes some changes and you ask yourself again and again: "How long will it take to recover my figure?". And, returning to a training routine or starting postpartum recovery exercises is one of the most common concerns in most women who have just given birth.

Needless to say, every woman is a world, but all must wait a reasonable time until they recover from childbirth. Some doctors recommend that, in case it has been given birth without complications, physical activity is recovered between four and six weeks after having the child.

If it is a cesarean delivery, it is advisable to wait between eight and 10 weeks. In addition, special care must be taken not to force the abdominal and pelvic area, the most sensitive after giving birth.
