In this episode, I’m breaking down why strong moms do not need to wait six weeks to start postpartum recovery and what I actually recommend doing in those first two weeks after birth. I talk about the difference between gentle rehab and jumping back into intense workouts, why breathing and core connection matter so much early postpartum, and the common mistakes I see moms make when returning to exercise too quickly.I also dive into walking postpartum, pelvic floor healing, and the symptoms you should never ignore, like leaking, heaviness, or pain. If you want to feel strong, supported, and confident as you recover, this episode will help you understand what your body really needs in those early postpartum weeks.Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!Connect with Dr. Karlie:Follow on Instagram @drkarlieCheck out the websiteResources & Links:C-SECTION edition: Get your body backFix your Rib FlareCheck out all my plans and resources HEREMy most popular plan: Get Your Body Back - Postpartum PlanFREE DOWNLOAD: Fix Your “Mommy Pooch”
