Ab work after birth
Hi all,
How long did you all wait to start doing ab work (e.g., crunches) after delivering? My doctor said that I could resume my workout routine as soon as I felt ready but I forgot to ask about abs in particular. Anyone with previous experience?

Re: Ab work after birth
I had a c-section so it may be different if you deliver naturally. I started doing light ab work at 6 weeks when I was cleared for physical activity. I know it was extremely difficult for me at first and took a while to build back up!
