Work out after preg: You should be healed by now and should be able to gradually return to the exercise level you attained before the pregnancy. If you undergo undue pain then see your doctor.

Scar: Tenderness in an incision can persist for up to a year. Surgical incisions if rubbed or irritated with a belt or clothing can persist in redness and tenderness for prolonged periods.protect the incision line with a soft dressing.
