Postpartum Readiness Checklist
A postpartum readiness checklist uses clearance, symptoms, sleep, and function—not calendar weeks alone—before adding impact and heavy load.
A postpartum readiness checklist tracks green lights before harder training—medical clearance, minimal doming, controlled leakage, sleep not in free fall, and walking tolerance. It is symptom- and function-based, not only weeks postpartum.
Red flags pause impact even if the calendar says go.
Common questions
-
Can you run at six weeks postpartum if cleared?
Clearance is necessary but not sufficient—impact needs pelvic-floor tolerance, core control, and energy. Many programs start with walk-run progressions later than six weeks.
