I wouldn't until about 8 weeks pp, I know you can exercise 6 weeks pp if given the all clear from the dr but the area still won't be healed. If I'm honest I didn't start until 12 weeks pp, I did some following the 6 week check and felt fine until the following day where I hurt like hell. Whenever you decide take it easy to start with x

I started at 5 weeks after, following sign off from Doc, but I did them very slowly and gently xxxx

My dr cleared me for crunches at 12 weeks pp. I was cleared for other exercise at 6 weeks pp. To be honest, my lo is 9 months old and crunches still make my incision sore.
