Pay attention to weight loss. Lose no more than a pound a week. Drink fluids during and after exercising. Choose an activity you enjoy and one you can do with your baby. If you feel pain, dizzy, have bleeding, or other concerns, stop exercising and call your doctor.
Many mothers feel sad after the baby is born.
There may be a sense of loss now that the pregnancy is over. Birth may not have been like you hoped or planned. You may have a greater sense of your baby's helplessness and be anxious about your ability to protect him. Being a mother may be more difficult than you expected. These are all normal postpartum feelings which should fade with time.
