How long can I jump rope and exercise to lose weight during vaginal delivery

It is generally recommended to start skipping rope exercise for weight loss 6-8 weeks after vaginal delivery. The specific time will depend on individual recovery status, doctor's assessment, and pelvic floor muscle function. Immediate high-intensity jumping exercises after childbirth may increase the risk of pelvic floor muscle injury. During vaginal delivery, pelvic floor muscles and ligaments may experience stretching, and premature skipping may lead to stress urinary incontinence or organ prolapse. It is recommended to first strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises. After the lochia completely stops and the wound heals well, the recovery status should be confirmed by the obstetrician before gradually trying low-intensity exercises. In the early stages, you can start with brisk walking, yoga, and exercise, and then transition to skipping rope after your body adapts.

In case of special circumstances, the waiting period needs to be extended. If the perineal tear is severe during delivery or a lateral incision is performed, it is necessary to wait for more than 3 months; Pregnant women with complications such as gestational hypertension and pubic symphysis separation should prioritize the treatment of underlying diseases. Before skipping rope, it is important to warm up thoroughly, choose shock-absorbing sports shoes and supportive underwear, and limit the skipping time to 5-10 minutes per jump, no more than 3 times a week. If there is urinary leakage, abdominal pain or abnormal bleeding, it should be stopped immediately. Postpartum weight loss should follow the principle of gradual progress, and the daily calorie intake during breastfeeding should not be less than 1800 calories. It can be combined with core training such as abdominal breathing and plank support to help repair rectus abdominis, increase the intake of high-quality protein and dietary fiber in diet, and avoid dieting and weight loss affecting milk quality. It is recommended to lose no more than 0.5 kilograms per week. The golden period for physical recovery is within 6 months after childbirth, but health priority should always be higher than the speed of weight loss.
