C sections

I was up and moving as soon as I was allowed to after my emergency c section but a lady I was in with still couldn’t the next day after hers.. I think it all varies for each person regardless of emergency or not x

My emergency I found the recovery really hard - 2 weeks later I was still only walking short distances and struggling with stairs etc. With my planned, I was up and about so much quicker. Could manage longer walks sooner and honestly felt “back to normal” around 3 weeks.
I think everyone is different and probably depends on why you had your emergency, but being prepared second time round I found made a huge difference to me mentally

I had a planned c section and found recovery so so so hard

Both of mine were emergency c-sections but i struggled more the first time. The healing was fine but it took longer for me to get feeling back in my legs and energy levels back. I think it is different each time for each person tbh. X

I had an emergency c section and I found it really hard during recovery, I did start to drive 4 weeks after due to getting the thumbs up from my insurance x

I had an emergency section April 2025 and a planned 2026 . I found the pain level was about the same but I was less tired after planned as wasn’t in labour for days before hand . After emergency it took me a bit longer to get going xx
