Exercise after a caesarean

[x-kirsty-x]

For those who had a section, when did you start exercising afterwards? I really want to start doing sit ups to tone up my stomach a bit.

I feel absolutely fine, I was driving after 4 days (Sssshh! ) and I felt like I was back to my old self after about a week. To be honest I feel better now than I did after having Josh naturally.

I've only got about 4lb to lose til Im back to my pre-pregnancy weight but my trousers still dont fit cos of my belly I cant wait to start toning up a bit! I just dont wanna wait til after my post natal check cos I dont get it til 8 weeks and thats ages away

I think you're healed inside by 6 weeks - so it makes sense not to do too much until then. I was given a sheet of exercises at the hospital which helped.

I was told not to do sit ups until 3 months after the section. I did it then and it felt fine, if a little hard to do haha.
