Yeah I agree with flakka. Could cause your stitches to pop and if you pop internal stitches that can be really bad plus it would be pretty easy to give yourself a hernia until your muscles aren't so torn and stretched

When I gave birth they told me not to carry anything heavier than my newborn until my pp check. I had a natural birth but I'm sure it's the same for a c-section as well.
