Viper certainly didn't get up after her birth and go for a run, as much as she wanted to. But she was often coming out of the den, leaving Moccasin to tend to her son while she at least paced around her den in a close proximity. She felt exceedingly weak after birth, and she couldn't figure out why. It was normal to feel this way for any usual mother, but not for Viper. She had to spend most of her time laying around the den, letting the pup take it's fill or snuggle or whatever pups did. And when she could, she was outside pacing.

She was relaxed in her den though when Chimera called, Moccasin came from his area of then den attentively, laying down beside Viper and the pup before Viper stood up herself and left the den to join Chimera. By the time she joined them she was quietly out of breath and seeming slow just from the looks of the couple that had gathered. She took a seat while she regained herself, it wasn't obvious that she was struggling just from the walk but it may have been easy to see through Chimera's eyes and maybe Aliana's from being around them so often.
