    If you've had a c/s the general guideline is 6 wks. In saying that I started back on the exercise bike 4 wks after my last c/s .

    I'm not sure if there are any real guidelines re vaginal birth (sorry, I don't know which you had) - but light exercise when you feel up to it should not be an issue.

    Just listen to your body - don't forget the relaxin can stay in your system for up to 9 months after.

    They do say 6 weeks, but if you feel physically fine (no pain from stitches etc) go for it I say. My bub is now 4 weeks and I have been walking and doing zumba. Just take it easy. I did hop on the treadmill at the gym and my legs were like jelly afterwards, so had to take a step back and slow down a little. Walking is good for you though and gets you out and about.
