The first activity is to get out of the house.
"Some of us can barely walk - and some of us can barely sit. It really depends on which part of your body the baby damaged on her way out. Though we want you to think of us as your friends, and as such we extend our sympathy to your sore parts, we also want to push you to get on with your life."
The first activity warns "c-section sisters" to avoid brisk walking, but to get out of the house. My first walk out of the house was with my husband. I think T was a week old. Since I'm one of those c-section sisters, we took it slow, didn't go far, and my husband pushed the stroller. We walked (more accurately my husband patiently walked slowly, I hobbled, and T strolled) a few blocks and we stopped for a rest at T's great-grandparents house. Surprising them with T's visit really made their day, and was a nice resting spot for me on my first walk out of the house.
