running after cesaren

[helarno]

Hi I have got a question for anyone who can answer, if anyone out there likes running how long after cesarean did you start running?
I had baby 5 weeks ago and have been out twice, 1st time was couple of weeks ago but had pain so i stopped for a week or so but went out yesterday and felt fine? Please help

I'd be inclined to wait for 6 weeks, just to be safe. The thing with C-section recovery is, if you let it heal properly, by taking it easy for the first 6 weeks or even a bit more, then it will be healed, and the scar won't cause you as much discomfort.

Am frankly a bit and at you having enough energy to run five weeks after having a baby, tbh.
