A member asked:

I am one week post c-section. when will it be ok to go for walks around the neighborhood if my husband pushes the stroller?

Today!: Walking post-operatively is healthy and can actually encourage healing, as long as your doctor has not specifically advised you not to walk. Check with your doctor if you think there is a specific reason you should not be walking.
