Swimming and exercise after C-section

2026-05-17 23:55:07
Hello, I am 34F mother to a 4 month old baby boy. I had a C-section delivery. I am a breast feeding mother. I wanted to know when is the ideal time to start swimming again and workout. Is it safe to swim now? If not, then when would be the ideal time to go back to old workout schedule?
