How long did it take before you felt able to run again? I know it will be different for everyone, I'm just interested and hopeful that I'll be able to get back out there soon

Whilst I did not do running I pushed myself physically too quickly after my third c-section and ended up having problems with my stitches. I wish I had taken things a bit slower and listened to by body. It is surgery after all!
