How soon can you exercise after a c-section

Generally speaking, you can exercise only after 42 days after a cesarean section, but the specific exercise time should be decided in conjunction with the postpartum recovery. Women’s uterus and body can not recover until about 42 days after delivery, it is recommended to go to the hospital to do postnatal review, such as recovery is good, you can do some appropriate gentle exercise, such as walking, brisk walking or postnatal yoga. The intensity of exercise should be gradual, avoid excessive exercise intensity, generally wait until 3 months after the cesarean section can resume normal life and exercise. If the body or uterus has not recovered well after the 42-day review after cesarean section, we should appropriately delay the time of exercise, to combine with their own recovery at least until 2~3 months before you can exercise. Do not do strenuous exercise after cesarean section, the intensity of exercise should be gradually increased, appropriate exercise is conducive to strengthening the immune system and help shape recovery.
