I also recovered really well. Was picking up baby right away, was a bit hard in hospital having to sort of twist to get her out of the bassinet while I was stuck to the bed that first day, but other than that was fine. Getting up the first time was a little strange, not so much the pain but just feeling really light headed and a little dizzy. Make sure you have someone with your the first time you get up and for your first shower. I was given Tramadol and panadol in hospital and was given a script for tramadol when I left on day 3, so took that for about a week all up I think. I was doing all the normal things like hanging washing etc. in the first week. I waited for 5 weeks before driving, but I know a lot of people do earlier. A that a friend told me before my c-section, make sure you buy yourself some big granny undies for afterwards. You don't want to have the elastic of hipster style undies sitting right on your wound. Also it helps to put a maternity pad in your knickers across the scar for a little extra protection.
Good luck hun, I hope it all goes well. I'll pop back in if I remember anything else that I think might be helpful
