Was your first or second c section harder?

And I had horrific tremors and shakes. Second one, completely different. I left the operating room talkative, coherent, ...

Pregnancy test showing incorrect weeks šŸ˜–

I’m 25 days post ovulation so about 3.5 weeks pregnant and 5.5 weeks pregnant based on my last period. But my Clearblue test is still only putting me at 2-3 weeks. It should be 3+ weeks. Has anyone else had this? I’m a bit worried I’m not progressing properly. 😩
