Summary
This study looked at whether the usual advice to rest for 6 weeks after a C-section is really needed. 200 women who had a planned C-section were randomly assigned to either follow standard rest instructions or start a gentle 10-week exercise program. The goal was to see if exercise could improve overall wellness without causing complications.
