Congrats on the new addition! I know it's hard, but don't over do it. The waiting and the way you are now will not be forever. Though it may seem like it at times.

Oh, I have an army's worth of doctors stitching in me from having the big babies. And repair surgeries from what big babies did later. Also, my blood loss was so bad with kid #1 I about died but luckily got a blood transfusion. My gyno wasn't too thrilled about me having a second, but that was way easier.

On the blood loss and the bike... be careful being anemic. You need your red blood cells to carry oxygen to help your muscle work. If you are trying to make up for that, plus ask what ones you do have to work hard... well, that's a lot.

Go with whatever the doc feels is ok of course. But, just remember to cut yourself some slack on that one--besides just the usual post baby getting back into shape you hear peeps talk about. That is a complication not all deliveries have... and thus should be taken into recovery consideration.

Best wishes with the babe and the bike.
