In how many days after giving birth can you cook/clean/exercise ?

If u have a vaginal birth pretty much straight away! I was out of hops within a few hours last time so straight back into the swing of things 4 me! & back on the school run in a couple of days! It all depends on how ur labour went really

I had a normal vaginal birth ... You ladies are amazing, lol most of people from my culture believe in this 40 day diet and rest thing ... Which I hate they dont want me up and down as much .. I Cant cook/clean at all they say thats bad and thay you need to give your body time to heal .. And I feel perfectly fine .. But they take it too seriously thats why I asked ...

With my first I took it easy for about a month. With my second I went back to work after a week. So I guess it depends if you feel up to doing those things but just don't push it or you could injure yourself leaving you out of commission longer than necessary.

I was mowing the lawn (big yard with a manual push mower) within the week cuz my husband wouldn't do it

Cooking and cleaning I did right out of the hospital at 2 days... light exercising was at 3 days... what they dont tell you is that you have no abdominal muscles for 2 months so doing sits up is literally impossible (at least for me it was)... I had to pull myself out of bed... sex takes 6 weeks. ..

I think a lot has to do with how your labor went. I was back in full motion 4 days later however my friend had a c section and it was a few weeks for her.
