I'm expecting my first child and have just found out I'm going to be needing a c-section just after Xmas after some complications.
I'd love to hear experiences of any mum's riding after c-sections. I'm aware the recovery can be difficult (and there are restrictions with driving initially afterwards until you can do an emergency stop!). How long did it take for you to get back in the saddle and did you find it took you a long time to get your balance and core strength back?
I'm aware everyone's recovery will be different and it probably also depends on whether you rode whilst pregnant (sadly I gave up straight away as both horses went lame!).
Any tips you have would be most appreciated!
