I have had 3 c/s. I recovered even faster with my 2nd as I knew what to expect. Just remember to get out of bed quickly (withint a decent time frame) with my 2nd I didn't get out bed for over 12 hours, 2nd was 11 hours exactly but 3rd 5 hours. deep breaths when walking and walk tall..

Good Luck..

oh and a tip from my last c/s. When I was in recovery the nurse sat me semi upright and gave me the oxygen, It helped to get the drugs (epi/spinal) out of my system faster. I think that helped a lot
