My 2nd c/s was much easier than the first, although it was different, as it was a spinal instead of GA, it was a breeze really. My 3rd c/s was okay, emergency but it was only the actual c/s that was the hassle, the recovery was fine. I was out of bed about 12 hrs post op and pretty much never returned to bed after that. Even with 9 yrs between 2 and 3, it was a lot less traumatic than I remember, although not enough decent drugs for my liking. LOL
