how soon is too soon?

had my beautiful DD 15 days ago is it too soon for me to start running and trying to get my body back??

Are you bf? If so you really need to rest so that you can get the milk in properly.

I went back to exercising after my gp 6 week check. However I went straight back into 5 gym sessions a week and did find that it affected my milk production substantially. I had to cut back to 3 cardio sessions a week until baby was 5 months old and started weaning.

I don't want to sound pessimistic but be prepared for your body to never go back to exactly the shape that it was before pregnancy. I work really hard at the gym but 5 year on I can't shift the small tummy pouch.
