Running is super rough on your pelvic floor. Current recommendations are to wait until at least 12w postpartum to return to running and even then it should be a very gradual start.
I had a lovely condition called symphis pubis dysfunction. Basically the ligaments in my pelvis got too loose during pregnancy and caused all kinds of instability. It hurt to walk, and if I stood too long with my weight on one leg, I’d get “stuck” where it felt like my hip needed to pop but couldn’t. It took lots of physical therapy, but it’s fixed now and some pre-existing hip weirdness hasn’t come back either. I’m thankful.
Why couldn’t you do it after he was born? Not trying to stab at you or anything, just genuinely curious. Lack of sleep maybe? Lack of free time?
