How soon after giving birth is it OK to lift weights at gym?

That's it really!

Couple of months, I'd say, certainly not until after your postnatal check.

6 weeks at least and even then for the first year you need to be careful as your body will still have high levels of relaxin. (the hormone that softens your ligaments) If you are breastfeeding then you will have to wait longer.
