just wondering really. a friend is doing this and i can't help thinking she is being bloody stupid and could rupture her scar, or worse.
i couldn't walk to the shops for at least 6 weeks after mine[wonders what marvelous painkillers she has and why i didn't have them too!]

would you say anything if this was your friend or would you leave it and let her find out for herself(which is what im going to do)?

Unless she's going to be limbo dancing I don't see a problem.

Don't see the problem either if she is feeling OK.

My boss went to a Take That concert 2 weeks after her C-section! She said her boobs hurt more than anything. I'm sure she'll be fine!

I went on a 2 mile walk 5 days after my section and wnt on a 5 hour train journey with luggage, DS and his mahoosive Emmaljunga pram and I went out clubbing too LOL.

She'll be fine

Obviously not all 5 days later I went on train journey and clubbing after 5 weeks.

i wont worry anymore then, she knows her body best. im just going on my experience with my scar which was agony after going for a long walk at 8 weeks.

I doubt pain from my c section would have stopped me going clubbing, if only for the chance!

6 weeks after my c section i went to see journey south at a night club and had a brill time with lots of dancing.
