Working Out After A D C

Sumer - June 20

Hi guys.. Im not sure what is going on with my body. I was pregnant. I found out on the first day of my 16 weeks of being pregnant that my child had no heart beat.. My husband and i have been working on getting pregnant for about a yr and a half. So for us to be told our baby was no longer alive was heart breaking to say the least. We are going to try and have another baby as soon as i finish healing. We lost our son on 6/10/2012. I have started to go back to the gym this week. And it seems that after an hour of Zumba i felt sick.. i thought it had been to the fact that i had not eaten . So when i came home i ate. I later that after noon went to another workout class.. this one is more of a strength and tone type of class.. I made it about 15-20 mins in to the class and i had to leave.. i was so light headed i felt like i was going to faint. I also felt sick and shaky.. it took a few hours for my body to mellow out.. i did not feel well yesterday so i skipped going to the gym.. i did so today.. but i opt to do my work out here at home with my 5lb weight ball.. again about 10-15 mins in to the work out .. i feel the same.. just total c__p.. i used to be able to do my work out classes no problem.. but for some reason now im not able to make it far in to the class at all.. i would like to get some of this weight off of me before i get pregnant again... any one have any ideas... info about the baby and D&C Friday the 8th i was on my way back home from dropping off my 5yr old. and i got really bad cramps in my back.... No bleeding.. Just cramps.. i came home and took a nap hoping that my body would chill out.. i woke up and still had cramps.. it was a big cramp.. kind of like a hug so to speak.. one that just held on.. at times it would get worse.. but there was no pattern to the cramps.. i had braxton hicks for about 5 days before this... I had just had my doc apt on 5/31 and the heart beat was loud and proud.. So i didnt think anything was wrong with the baby.. I had my husband take me to the ER and after hours of waiting they told me that they could not find the heart tones from the baby and when they did the sonogram there was no movement.. Our baby had died.. The doctor tried to tell me that the baby was gone for about 2 weeks but that was just not right being i had heard the heart beat 8 days ago.. My husband and i wanted to talk to my doctor before we did the D&C.. we wanted to make sure our baby was gone and not sleeping.. (silly i know) After talking to the doctor they told us there was no way for it to be a mistake and the baby was in fact gone... :( that saturday i started to spot... So we went back to the hospital and had them do the D&C which did not happen tell Sunday Morning... My bleeding has been really light.. has even stopped and started back up a bit.. We have no made love for about 13 days now.. and im ready to get this ball rolling.. My husband and i both have 5 yr old boys and we would like to add one more (hoping for a girl) to the bunch.. So we are hopeful this takes soon.. we dont want to have to wait another yr.. I would like to get some of this weight off of me before i get pregnant again.. i would like to have a routine in place so its easier for me to work out this time... When they took my baby out of me they told me he stopped growing after 12 weeks and his heart stopped in the 15th week... anyone have any ideas.. Also i know the ER nurse has said no Sex,swimming and tampon use for 4-6 weeks.. anyone know when its safe to swim and have s_x? Does it really take 4-6 weeks?
