Off restrictions, but is it okay still?
I went today for my 6 wks. PP chekup and was released from all restrictions. I will be exactly 6wks. PP on Mon. So, I was wondering…
1. Is it ok to have a couple glasses of wine with my husband tonight or should I wait a little longer?
2. When should I start working out? I am going to do Pilates and walk the treadmill!
BTW: I am breastfeeding (I know to pump before drinking but how long before?) and I did have a c-section!
If you are worried about alcohol in your breast milk try out http://www.milkscreen-moms.com, they are little strips that you dip in the milk that will detect the alcohol.
A general rule of thumb I have heard if you do not want to spend the money on the strips . . . your liver can clean 1oz of hard liquor an hour not to drink more than that( in an hour that is).
Another rule of thumb I’ve heard is if you can’t drive you shouldn’t breastfeed. I don’t know which is correct but if you truly want to be sure buy the strips.
Work out when you are comfortable to do so but stop if you start to cramp.
Hope I’ve helped.
