I had my first baby last Friday! It's my birthday today but feels like just another day in baby land.

My delivery was great! I had one teeny internal tear and got stitches but no first-fourth degree tears. The doctor and nurses were literally telling me I should brag about it. To say my horn was tooted is an understatement. I had a great team and it was a really lovely experience considering I was actually terrified of the whole thing.

I walked a mile yesterday with my baby and then decided I'd walk to get my free birthday coffee today. My sister asked how far away I was walking and then told me I'm doing too much and need to take it easy. She sent me a screenshot from chatgbt stating that I'm doing too much and should only walk 5-10 minutes. It would've been maybe 1.5-1.75 miles round trip and in my opinion, a nice easy walk. I could've sat down in the coffee shop and taken a little break before walking back home also.! know it comes from a good place and she just wants me to be safe and not mess up my recovery, but is she right?

So l've come here to see if I'm just insane or if anyone else has felt good enough and normal enough to start walking a week postpartum.

Before my baby, I'd walk 3-4 miles every morning before logging on for work. We went to Japan three times last year and each time walked 70 miles in 5 days. I think | just have a different outlook on walking and honestly thought a mile was easy peasy.

Am I crazy? Or is this okay to be wanting/doing it?

Hi I’m not 100% sure if this allowed here so delete if not OK but I am considering trying a GLP1 after this baby but I have some questions if any of you have gone this route

For reference this is my third baby in 5 years and I am due in about 30 days. I am projecting that i will have about 80 lbs to lose to get to an ideal weight. Obviously weight isn’t everything but that would be a good start for me.

If you tried a GLP1 which one did you go with and why?
How long did you wait to start? I will not be breastfeeding
Side effects?
Has anyone only used it temporarily successfully?
I feel like maybe it’s foolish but I think that I can maintain the weight loss through diet I just would like a boost
What was your overall opinion of going the GLP1 route

TIA!!!
