[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I waited too long after #1, and never felt myself.  I started 3-4 weeks after #2 (c-section), with doctor's blessing to do what felt OK.  I started with a couple very slow miles at a time, and ran a half marathon the day #2 was four months old.  I did breastfeed and running didn't affect that at all.  I was *huge* while nursing, and just sized up a couple band sizes in the Moving Comfort Fiona bra.  Worked great.

to PP's question: I didn't bring the babies on runs until around 8 mos., but you can get out and walk with your baby the day you get home from the hospital.  Bundle bundle bundle if it's cold, wear the baby inside your coat if it makes you feel more confident, but get out if you want to!  Helped so much with my post-partum blues.[/quote]

OP here. This is awesome. I hope to be running by 4 weeks once I get cleared by doc. Love the Fiona bra, too, and glad to hear it worked for you bc My nursing boobs are enormous. I think I Will have to nurse or pump right before run. [/quote]
