    My baby is 14 weeks , my back injury is around 10 month ... i experienced tearing but only 2nd degree i think ... she was going to stitch but said where it was should heal fine .

    Normal deliverly but was started of 3 weeks early and in labour for 3 days... placenta wouldn't come out though and had to have it manually taken out through surgery.

    Wow! You are a trooper! Where did they make the incision to remove your placenta?

    I would suggest some glute and hip friendly exercises as well as kegels.

    I wish someone had told me to do these things before my problems started! I didn't ease back in and went back to working out before dealing with what pregnancy did to my body.

    I don't know what kind of condition your abs are in, but here is a gentle workout video for recovering abs.

    If situps bother your back, maybe try leg raises where you lay flat on your back, extend your legs, and then lift them from just above the ground, then in toward your abs.
