6 Weeks to 6 Months
During this time, you need regular check-ups with your doctor to assess overall health. If everything is fine, you can return to sex and exercise. In the first few months, your hair would become thinned or even fall out due to hormonal changes. Also, it is common to have urinary incontinence because the pelvic floor muscles are weakened or stretched. You can improve the symptoms with some Kegel exercises. The first post-delivery period should be in the first 6 to 12 weeks after the delivery. [4]
