QuestionQUESTION: I would like to ask that i had ceasearing delivary three months before so would like to ask can I swim at this time ?
ANSWER: YES!
Swimming can be resumed once your lochia (postpartum bleeding) and your "C" scar have completely healed. These conditions generally resolve by 8 weeks postpartum. Swimming offers many physical and psychological benefits, but be aware that weight loss is NOT one of them.
On days that you do not swim, take your baby out on a brisk stroller walk for about 40 minutes. This way you'll also be burning fat as fuel on a regular basis. Consider adding in some postpartum core exercises to restore strength and proper functioning of your abdominal wall.

QUESTION: is it okay for "C" scar case . If yes then from which month after delivery ?
AnswerOnce your scar completely heals, which usually occurs by six weeks post-op, you can start with postnatal abdominal core reconditioning.
Scar tissue is very strong and you do not need to worry about injury to the area or the incision opening up. Some women have tenderness around the scar and gentle message of the scar can help mobilize the area and reduce swelling and pain.
