I was pretty good within 2 days of my first c/s. I was a little tender getting into bed ect but within 2 weeks I was fine.. with my 2nd I was pretty good within 4 days. I had some back pain the 2nd time round but that was gone by the time I left hospital. Once again within 2 weeks I was almost back to normal.. I even walked my son to school less then 2 weeks. Although I do admit I was stuffed and it was a bit silly I still managed to do it. it is a 4km round trip
