hey ladies!

just curious, how long after you have (1) a vaginal birth can you exercise or (2) a c-section can you exercise?

something i have yet to ask my doctor but wondering about!

thanks!

I know a c-section is 6 to 8 weeks depending on how one feels.
Regular Im not sure.If your ok down there after I dont think its to long at all.

May my Angles rest in peace.....

I had a c-section and I wasn't cleared for any type of strenuous activity until after my 8 week appointment. I wasn't supposed to drive either, but when you're a SAHM and the only way you can rely on transportation at times is yourself...well, I broke that rule.

I was able to drive after my c-sectoin after 2 weeks..I was able to return to my combat fitness class after my 6 week follow-up.
