How soon after birth can you start taking your baby out for long walks?

You can take the baby out immediately. It's safe to exercise as soon as you feel able for it. I didn't want to go out until a week after the birth. Even then, I only walked about 2 miles. By the end of the second week I could have walked any distance. It sounds as if you're like me, and are used to a lot of walking, so you'll probably be able to get back to normal walking quickly. Everyone's different, but don't worry about safety. You won't do yourself any harm. But expect to feel battered and bruised to begin with. That came as a shock to me the first time. It's surprising how quickly you recover, though. Good luck for an easy birth and enjoy your baby.
