How soon after a cesarean section can you begin working out?

A caesarean is a major operation, so don't push yourself too soon. The first six weeks after the operation is a time for healing. Don't do any strenuous exercise or heavy lifting in the first couple of months. However, you can begin practising your pelvic floor exercises as soon as you feel up to it. It will be good to check with your doctor before doing anything strenuous.
