I bounced back really well after my first CS, the only 'trouble' I had was lying flat in bed when I got home as I had been sleeping elevated in hospital. You will be happy to know that I bounced back even faster after my second CS, I checked out 2 days post CS and as I layed almost flat the night after my sugery I didn't have a problem with sleeping, I was off pain killers by the time I left and I had only had minimal amounts prior to leaving, I believe that walking does the world of good, get up and move around as much as possible!
Hun, I had a 'c/s like' surgery to remove a massive fibroid in 2009 and I recovered very well after that (the cut was much bigger than a c/s cut) and then when DS was conceived they told me another op was on the cards as they didn't want my uterus to tear during natural labour. So I had a c/s and I recovered very well again after that one. I guess some people find a c/s a bit hard which is totally understandable as it IS major abdominal surgery, but I found the operations pretty good. Apart from not being able to get up for a day, and the slight pain you get from the first time you get out of bed, it was honestly OK. The more I moved around the better and I had plenty of meds which really helped. GL what ever you do!
My recovery after my second one was hard, i got an infection in my uterus and I was laid up for about a month. But up until that struck, my time after the c-section was better than the first, my body didn't seem as shocked by the surgery and wasn't as painful
