How soon can you exercise after a cesarean section

How long it takes to exercise after a cesarean section depends on the wound and the recovery of the mother’s body. It is usually recommended that soothing activities can be carried out 6 weeks after C-section delivery, and then resume normal exercise after 3 months according to her condition. Due to the trauma to the uterus and abdomen caused by the surgery, the recovery cycle is longer for C-section mothers, so the time for resuming exercise should be appropriately lengthened in comparison with that for normal birth mothers. Depending on the wound and the recovery of the body, usually around 6 weeks postpartum can be appropriate to carry out soothing activities, such as slow walking, less intense housework and pelvic floor repair exercises to help the uterus to recover. Exercise can be performed through deep breathing, abdominal contraction and other exercises to reduce abdominal fat. After the organs and wounds of the body have fully recovered for about 3 months after delivery, you can return to normal sports according to your own physical condition. In addition, during the recovery period, mothers need to pay attention to a highly nutritious diet, while maintaining a happy mood, in order to promote the body to recover as soon as possible.
