Hi everyone,

I know it's 6 weeks until you can do more than walking - I have a week to go until I hit the 6 week mark but I feel so gross I want a plan of action for doing something a little bit more energetic from next week onwards!

The thing is, I don't want to pay for someone to tell me what to do and obviously I don't want to go overboard and hurt myself. I don't have an ob to ask and I'm not about to go forking out for a trainer who specialises in that area to essentially tell me what I should and shouldn't do but I have very fat, uncomfy bits in places I have never had them before, I have a medical condition that inhibits weight loss and I NEED to do a bit more exercise in order to shift that weight and get rid of the discomfort. Not only that, I don't have a single item of clothing I fit into post pregnancy (I gained a lot ) and I can't afford to buy new clothes so shifting the weight is the only option.

I just don't know what is safe to do once I pass the six week mark and what isn't, and the hard bit is that I feel fine already! At the moment I am taking gentle walks every day but I am trying to get some idea of what I can do to step it up a bit in another week or so without hurting myself and thought other ladies who have had caesareans may have 'been there, done that' and may be able to share their experiences?
