Brief Answer:
You can start regular exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After a C-section delivery, a rest of 2.5months is sufficient to allow the body to heal.
You can start with exercises gradually to lose the extra fat that has deposited.
The numbness around the c-section scar is a normal finding. This happens due the damage to the superficial nerves during the surgery. This numbness will slightly improve over next 4-5months.
During winters it is best to avoid any exposure to cold. Do regular exercise and have a healthy protein rich diet with low fats and sugar.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further queries are always welcome.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
