You have to wait until your doctor gives you the ok otherwise it's typically 6-8 weeks

You have to wait at least until your 6 week checkup and for the dr to give you the ok. With my first, I was cleared after the 6 week check up

6 weeks usually but you have to be seen my a doctor because only they can tell you. Everyone is different and it depends on the type of c section you had. If you work oit before you healed all the way you can really hurt yourself worse. My doctor wouldn't let me start light exercise for 8 weeks because of the type of c section i had to have. When you go for your 6 week checkup they will tell you.
