Recovery time

If you had a vaginal birth or c-section, how long was your recovery?
I have no financial support bc i was substituting and they’ve been on break & also it’s based off availability. I am drowning in debt and will be giving birth soon & thought I’d have a little net of safety for finances to be able to at least stay home for a month or two with baby, but doesn’t seem like it. Any tips or advice or just information is appreciated 🙏

When you say recovery do you mean how soon were we Physically able to do things with NO pain? If so, a week tops for me, vaginal with 2 tears.

Honestly mine was like a week or two. There was bleeding later, but I mean the stitches dissolve quickly and I was fine pretty quick. But I also barely tore
