Question 1

can i jog after giving birth?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Usually we recommend you wait 6 weeks after delivery to start up your exercise regimen. This allows your ligaments and tendons, which did soften during pregnancy, to return to their normal strength. If  you had a c-section then you may want to ease back a little slower, taking into consideration the abdominal incision. Short answer though: yes.

Here are some ...: Since masturbation is not an urgent essential matter, it's a good respectful advice to give the uterus a time of at least 2-3 weeks to heal its lining after shedding the placenta and its mucosa from childbirth. Known to us, the unhealed mucosa is easy to bleed from vigorous uterine contraction from orgasm. So, you decide what you should do.
