I was in pain for pretty much 6 weeks, but looking back I think I tried to do too much, didn't get a massage when I needed it (terrible back pain), and didn't take the pain relief I should have. So look after yourself hun.

Also remember the morphine (in your drip) can make you nauseous - not much fun throwing up with a c-section wound. Actually, it was excruciating. So be careful what you eat post-op!
