After a C-section, women need to wait until their stitches are completely healed, about 4 to 6 weeks before they engage in any abdominal exercises like crunches. All curl-up type of exercises cause intra-abdominal pressure which can stress stitches before tissues have had time to completely knit back together. Before that time, fitness walking with your baby in a stroller (rather than front pack) is ideal.
