well with my c-section I was told to wait 40 days before having any s_x, at least a 7 to 14 days before I drove and one month before I could exercise but even then I was told what exercises I could and couldnt do.Initaly I wasn't supposed to lift anything heaver than my baby(which i didnt) and anything to heavy even now three months post baby I wont lift anything heaver than 20 lbs. it just feels too tense.

I was told not to have s_x or lift anything heavier than the baby for six weeks after the c-section. I was careful after that about lifting things, for a while, but six months after my c-section I helped move a mattress, fell, and got an incisional hernia.

i was told to wait two weeks before exercising or to lift anything over 20 lbs. six weeks before having s_x. the ends of my incision ended up opening at about 3 weeks post op but it ended up being a st_tch that was irritating the skin and poking through. according to my doctor, very common and not a real big deal. they snipped it and it healed up nicely. listen to your body and don't do anything your not comfortable with. i'm now almost 4 months post op and i've been doing aerobics 3 times a week since about 6 weeks post op and doing strength training 4 times a week and walking as much as i can
