I had no problems at all as far as recovery was concerned. I never took any further pain medication once I left the hospital (4 days PP) and was doing as much as my MIL would let me (which admittedly wasn't much) from the point of arriving home. I did walk about 2kms down the road to a BBQ the day after getting home and that was not a good idea, but aside from that I was fine. No problems at all - and though I'm hoping for a VBAC when the time comes, I also hope that if I do have to have another C-sect that my recovery will be quick again - especially since I'll have a toddler to deal with 2nd time around!
