  I tried doing ab exercises around 8-12 weeks postpartum but it hurt too much. I haven't bothered since.

  Ok, as long as it's not just me! I'm almost ready to give up on ab exercises.

  What is this exercise you speak of? Ha. Yes, my incision hurts if I overdo anything ... I was told to give it a year to start feeling "normal" again.
  

  
  
  We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

  Ugh, a year? I hope it starts feeling better soon, I had a pretty easy recovery so I really thought I'd feel normal quickly.

  I don't do ab exercises; I'm more of a go for a walk for exercise kind of girl. But I find my C section area bothers me when I get bloated or sometimes randomly for no particular reason.

  Wow! @Kara8675 I didn't realize the after affects could last so long.

  Mine is still numb feeling around it. It feels like I have no an muscles still. I tried to let little one fly on my knees with my legs up. I could only last a few seconds at a time and then had to rest. I could barely keep him up. Pathetic.

  I have been exercising pretty hard since 7 weeks pp. It did hurt at first, and I couldn't do planks and I was so upset about how I couldn't really jump off the ground! I had been awesome at jumping before! And now at 21 weeks pp I am jumping like my old self and planking like before! It feels awesome. It took a long time but I'm glad I didn't get discouraged.

  Really? I start Kaia fit next week and had no idea I would be sore around my incision. (I had a vaginal birth first time around)
  
  Glad you posted this so I'm aware ahead of time! Anything that I can do or excercises to avoid?

  When I over-do it, bend the wrong way, etc. it gets sore.
  I also have a wide section that still has absolutely no feeling above the incision.
