[Bujji143]

After having c section when do we start basic exercises and my back is hurting me a lot, for that reason i would like to start, any tummy belt to reduce my belly, if anyone knows which one is better please send me the links and basic exercises also.

Hi. You need to wait until you see your gp for your 6/8 week check. How long ago was your section? X

Hi dear

Thanks for your reply

Gp stopped doing 6week antenatal check

It’s 7th week now

Oh really. I have mine next week. It will be 7 weeks then. I would maybe just do some gentle exercise but nothing strenuous until you have seen someone x

My midwife recommended gently starting to draw in tummy muscles whilst doing pelvic floor exercises from about 2 days after delivery, I started when I felt comfortable to. Maybe try this to start to get your strength back in your tummy and back?
