I was told to wait until my 6 week appointment with both of my DDs.

You are not supposed to, but I started running (jogging) at 5, bc I felt good. My MW was ok with it when I told her, but I don't think she would have approved it beforehand.

I couldn't until 12 weeks because my stitches from my tears still hadn't healed.

I started doing light cardio at 3wks PP with DS & 4wks with DD. My OB was fine with it and it helped me mentally.

No ab workouts. I was told at 6 week pp to hold off another 2 weeks from ab workouts (did not have c/s). If you had the linea nigra, your ab muscles have actually separated and need to go back. If you do ab workout, your muscles will never meet back in the middle again. You'll have a permanent gap between your abs.

Mine never fully went away, it definately got lighter by 5-6 months pp. I knew it was there but I don't think anyone else would have been able to point it out.
I'm preg with  #2 and it's back. Hopefully goes "almost" away again.
