C Section Recovery.

It really does depend on the individual, and I found that my recoveries from both of my C-sections were quite different.
With my first, the biggest shock was just how difficult it was to walk around and do normal things. I spent most of the first 5 days in bed and probably started getting around more and doing a few things for myself after about a week. I didn’t really have much choice but to do more after 2 weeks, as my husband only had 2 weeks off, although thankfully he worked from home so was still able to help a lot.
With my second C-section, the pain was actually much worse. I couldn’t do very much for around 2 weeks and was on quite strong painkillers for a while. I’ve heard that second C-sections can sometimes be more painful, although obviously everyone is different.
