When to start exercise ?

When will depend on you and your recovery. Start slow with strength building exercises, particularly for your stomach where your abs have stretched.

Look up abdominal diastesis, you can self check to see if you have a gap. Then look at postpartum core exercises and make sure you include 360/deep breathing. Also work on your pelvic floor.

Once your happy enough with your core and pelvic floor you can build up the impact you put on to it. I did low intensity exercise first with Pilates, swimming etc and have only just started trying to run with couch to 5k

I had an emergency c section 13 weeks ago and I was up and walking on the second day, so I increased my walking distance to start. I started deep breathing and pelvic floor exercises on week 2. I was back in the gym on week 6 after clearance from my doctor, although the only advice I was given was to avoid heavy weight and low reps, so I was doing low weight high reps up until recently.
