How long after a normal delivery can you do sit-ups?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally it is recommended to wait for 3 months after a normal delivery before doing abdominal exercises. However, the intensity should not be too high, and it is best to keep it between 30-50. Moderate abdominal exercises can help in the recovery of the uterus after a normal delivery, as they can increase uterine contractions and promote uterine recovery. However, be careful not to overdo it, as the recovery of the lumbar spine in pregnant women typically takes around 6 months.
