How soon can you exercise after a normal delivery

Generally, you can get up and do light exercise within 6-12 hours after a normal delivery, but there are individual differences. The labor process will consume a lot of physical energy of the mother, usually 1 hour after delivery, the mother can eat a liquid food or light semi-liquid food can quickly replenish the consumption during labor.
