Recovery after a C-section is a gradual process that requires both rest and gentle movement. In the first few weeks, prioritize short, gentle walks (like 5 minutes after meals) and focus on healing before attempting any formal fitness routine. Most experts suggest waiting until your doctor gives clearance at the 6-week checkup before starting light exercise like stretching or yoga. Always listen to your body, avoid pain, and consider working with a physiotherapist for core and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Remember that your body continues to adjust for many months, so avoid rushing or feeling guilty about your recovery speed.
