Been away. Sorry for delay.
Congrats on your new baby.  Need a lot more info to be able to offer suggestions.  Was your wife exercising previously?  Any complications through pregnancy or delivery?  First child?  Was the cut vertical or horizontal?  How much weight gain during pregnancy?  Any orthopedic limitations?
