I was up and about about 16 hours after the cs, dd was in the scn and I was able to move around and to go see her for bf, cuddles etc. I wasn't able to drive until three weeks, so once I was home I had to rely on family to take me to the hospital a couple of times a day.

I was able to walk gently at three weeks but couldn't lift until 6 weeks, so using the pram was tricky if I was in the car. I used a sling instead.
