working out after C Sec?

Question

reaching out to all my C section mommies! How soon can I start working out and how intense can it be? someone at work scared me against doing any ab exercises as it might effect my internal stitches negatively... have you started working out? how?

Answer

I just got cleared at 6 weeks. And I did shoulders and core today and had zero problems. Except that I am out of shape. 😂 my doctor said I could resume life as normal. But I also have zero pain. I say just listen to your body, it’ll let you know if you start pushing it too hard.

Answer

Doc said I could do any exercises at my 6 week appointment, including ab work!

Answer

I got cleared to resume all normal activities at my 6 week post-op appointment.

Answer

Wondering this too! At my six week appt, Dr said I was good to do whatever exercise I used to do but forgot to ask about abs! So far I have just been walking.
