It is such a strange feeling of devistation that the VBAC didn't happen but joy because you are holding your little one in your arms. Let yourself grieve that you didn't get your VBAC. Even though some others will not understand you need to give yourself time. I found my recovery a bit longer than my first one as well, but since you know what it is like in the next few weeks, you are able to anticipate what you can and can't do.
I am a very independent person as well and hate people helping me, but I let others help me because what they were allowing me to do is give the very best care to my little daughter who needed me 24/7 in the first few weeks. I focused on getting my body back together and spending time with my new DD and my eldest. We even had a lady come and do the washing and I am totally OCD with how I do my washing.
