My team said no excercise just daily short walks for 6 weeks (if no complications). Then at 6 week check up i was advised i can start with gentle excersise (longer/faster walks and swimming was what the nurse recomended). I was way too weak and dizzy to do anything other than going on daily walks.. I went back to the gym at around 13th or 14th week mark as i felt i was ready and strong enough to do so.
