    I was told not to exercise properly until 10 weeks but walking etc should be ok now.

    Hey !
    6 weeks i startin walking properly (hour a day out wit my dog)
    be really careful doin any sort of abdominal exercises as ur muscles have been cut in half.
    i would suggest not doing them til 10 weeks ...
    and running i would say 20 weeks ...im a personal trainer but not sure about c sections ... this is wot ive done after my section ... ur best thing would to do some light weights before doing cardio... hope this helpss

    hello

    i was given a booklet by the physio after my emergency section last week with some mild exercises and advised not to do anything other than them and short walks until my 6 week check then to slowly build up exercise x
