When to return to exercise/sport?

I'm 9 weeks pp (C-section) and wondering when is best to start running again? Only a gentle run/walk 5km. Also, when can you start to take baby on a run in a pram? I have an out n about nipper, I was thinking when my little one comes out of the carrycot attachment or is that too soon?

When i went for a mummy mot i asked about running and she said anyone should to wait at least 17 weeks pp i went for walks before this

With my first it was 3 months and second and third I struggled doing any exercise until about 6 months as I’d have a burning uncomfortable pulling sensation in my scar! But everyone’s different, I was ok to go for longish walks around 3 months with all but anything more was a struggle. All I can say is listen to your body 🫶🏾

Thank you both! I can walk around for hours (have to with my toddler) 😂😂. I was hoping to start back in the next 2-3 weeks 🤞

I went for my first (gentle) 5k post c-section at 11 weeks. I'm sure with the running buggies, they say that your baby must be 6 months old before you run with it x
