You are different as you have SPD severly but you still need to get up and do things for you and your baby. They will not be asking you to walk a marathon but to get out of bed to change baby, etc is not to much giving that you can lie in bed to feed etc.
I'm really not interested in debating whether my physio is right or wrong about the 24 hours thing. Naturally, I will have another conversation with her before the caesar and see what's OK and what's not but I won't be taking advice from well-meaning people who just happen to have had caesars themselves but know nothing of my own medical background.

Wysiwyg and Jandals - that's all very encouraging, thank you!
