A member asked:
Is 3 1/2 weeks postpartum to early for intercourse and to start working out doing sit ups, walking, and crunches?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: As long as you had a normal delivery and you are feeling well you should be able to gradually increase your physical activity and intercourse.
