How long can I do yoga after delivery?
I didn't practice yoga until six months after caesarean section.
After you can practice, if you feel pain or any discomfort during the practice, then pause and have a rest. It still depends on the individual's physique.
Although the specific situation varies from person to person, we generally do not recommend new mothers to do more physical exercise in the first two months after delivery. Some women's pregnancy and delivery are more difficult and complicated, such as caesarean section, tearing or prolonged labor. Such women should give priority to rest. On the contrary, if pregnancy and childbirth are normal and there is no problem, you can start exercising early.
First, the ship type
1. Lie on your back with your legs straight. Put your arms flat on your sides, palms down.
2. Inhale and lift your head, upper body, legs and arms at the same time, leaving the ground. Arms should be straight forward, parallel to the ground, while storing air, not breathing, while maintaining this posture for as long as possible, not affected by any force.

3. Exhale, bow your head, arch your spine, and hold on for another 5 seconds. Arms straight, perpendicular to the ground.

Matters needing attention in confinement
10 pregnant women, a few hours after delivery, the body's resistance and physique will be greatly reduced. At this time, the parturient needs a long time to recuperate and rest, so as to recover from the state of physical strength, decreased resistance and weak body as soon as possible. However, there are many precautions for confinement, which need the attention of maternal friends. Precautions for confinement are as follows:
1, keep the perineum clean, urinate more, and do not hold your urine. If there is catheterization, indwelling catheter or abrasion around the urethra during delivery, it may stimulate the urethra to produce this uncomfortable feeling. Pay attention to drink more water, urinate more and don't hold your urine in your daily life. You can clean the perineum with warm water, change underwear and perineum pads frequently, and keep the perineum clean. Please go to the hospital when the symptoms are not relieved or aggravated.
2, postpartum weight loss does not need premature birth. Dieting to lose weight is not desirable for ordinary people, especially new mothers. Within 42 days after delivery, the maternal body has not fully recovered to the pre-pregnancy level, so it needs to take in rich nutrition and get adequate rest. In addition, some pregnant women need breastfeeding and nutrition. Postpartum forced dieting, although effective in a short time, may lead to various postpartum complications. After a long time, the nutrition needed for breastfeeding will be insufficient, not only the milk secretion will be reduced, but also the composition of milk will be affected, thus damaging the nutrition of newborns and affecting their growth and development. Postpartum weight loss, not too early, as long as a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, adhere to breastfeeding, generally three months after delivery will slowly lose weight.
