I had a planned c-section with DD. My dr said to me that elective are generally easier to recover from as there's not the urgency required as there would be in an emergency c-section so more care can be taken.

My recovery was great. I had DD at 10am and was up by 2pm walking around. By the end of the first week I almost felt normal and like I could do everything (I didn't though).

Don't overdo it though and take all the pain meds you need to in the first few days.
