2 Questions....I had a c-section almost 2 wks. ago. 1)when am i allowed to exercise and 2)how long will it take before the bulge above my incision goes away? i think it's swelling as it's very sore above my incision. is it normal to be very sore in that area after 2 wks?????

My OB always said that until 6 weeks, the incision isn't what it's going to end up looking like. The bulge will probably end up going down in a few more weeks. I'd ask your doc when exercise is ok again. It's probably different for different people (depending on their activity level before, how their delivery went and how they are healing...) Good luck:)

Just wanted to clarify... that 6 weeks that my OB was talking about was if there are no complications...

I was told I could walk after 4 weeks, but wait until 8 for any other exercises. My belly is still sensitive almost 4 weeks later.
