recovering tips from "healthline": reusume sth in about 6 weeks

C/P

How active should I be after a c-section?

While it's essential to get plenty of rest once you're home, you also need to get up and walk around regularly. Walking promotes healing and helps prevent complications such as blood clots.

Of course, you shouldn't overdo it. Start slowly and increase your activity gradually. Since you're recovering from major abdominal surgery, your belly will feel sore for some time. Take it easy and avoid heavy household work or lifting anything heavier than your baby for eight weeks.

In six to eight weeks, you'll be able to start exercising moderately – but wait until your caregiver gives you the go-ahead. It may be several months or longer before you're back to your former fit self.

You'll be able to resume sexual intercourse in about six weeks – if you're feeling comfortable enough and with your caregiver's okay. Talk to your practitioner about what kind of contraception will work best for you now. You may be able to resume using the birth control method you used in the past, or you may have to make some changes. For example, if you used a diaphragm before, you'll have to be fitted again because you may need a different size after being pregnant and giving birth.
