A member asked:

When is it safe to tone abs after delivery?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

6 weeks: I recommend not starting to tone abdominal muscles such as doing sit ups until 6 weeks after delivery. This makes sure those muscles have come together - pregnancy stretches those muscles apart.

2 weeks: Two weeks after vaginal delivery and a minimum of 6 weeks after a c/s.
