Hey Nat welcome to our little C group (we'll have to think of a name LOL ) I had an emergency with my first and second was an elective cause baby was breech and no ob would trial labour as you can understand. This time of course unless I go home birth YIKES! I have to take my lot and have another planned C. It took me about the same amount of time to recover with both but the planned C was just sooo much better emotionally and physicaly as I had a spinal not a general and my body didn't labour for 24hrs prior. I totally understand your feelings I felt the same way. No judging here just understanding
How long does your dh plan to take off? maybe cooking some meels to put in the freezer for when you come home, plus you could set up your lounge with everything you'll need to limit your movements through the day if dh can't be home. Try not to stress yourself too much things will work out.
