It's been 6 wks since my csection and i can't even do a sit-up my abs are so weak is that normal?

Takes time: Starting to exercise after surgery always takes time. Start with tensing muscles while lying on the floor, as the muscles get stronger you can progress to sit-ups. Working with a physical therapist or personal trainer can help.
