Kusum Moray Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 To New, or recent mothers: How long after childbirth were you able to go on a trek to the Himalayas? I have successfully completed two moderate treks with India hikes, one in Kashmir and one in Uttarakhand. I am due in Feb 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Sree Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hey Kusum! Firstly congratulations 🙂 it's cool that youre planning your trek post childbirth now itself! Though i don't have kids, as a doctor, i feel you can safely give 3 months if you'll have a normal delivery and 6 months if you have a Cesarean section, plus atleast 1 month of preparation before you go on a Himalayan trek... Childbirth stretches the abdominal wall muscles, which are very important for trekking, so you'll need to focus on strengthening them post delivery. Apart from that, cardio workouts you can soon after delivery itself, after consulting with your doctor and a trained instructor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
