When could you exercise after c-section?

I am just wondering if your doctor had restrictions for a certain period of time? ?I am going to attempt a vag delivery if both are head down, but with twins it is 50/50.

Thanks!!!

I got the go ahead for general exercise at my 6 wk pp check up but was instructed to wait on "ab specific" exercise until 12 weeks pp

I went for a little walk about a week after he was born, but didn't push it (I wouldn't really say it was "exercise.")

I think I was told 3 months on ab work, so that's when I started back to pilates.  I was definitely going on longer and more vigorous walks before then.  You don't want to push it too much too early though.
