    exercise after caesar?

    Hi all
    Not sure whether I am putting this in the right place...
    I am feeling pretty good post c section (now almost 8 weeks ago!) and wanting to head back to the gym to start spin classes again. At this stage all I want to try and manage is one a week together with walking most days (after walking most days I feel ready to go this next step).
    I totally forgot to ask my ob when i could start such more vigorous exercise at my 6 week check up.
    For those who had a caesar when did you get back to it (or start!)
    Thanks in advance.
    Belinda

    I started back at he gym about 8 weeks after my c-section. I mainly did pump classes, treadmill, and cross trainer. Now (4 months on) I do most of the other classes!

    Good luck!!
