My experience was very similar and just as positive!

I was induced but the labour didn't progress so after 10 hrs c-section was done. I was very lucky also as my bub's UC had a knot in it (just not tightened) and was wrapped around his neck twice.

I had no pain and only took ibuprofen for 1 day after c-section then no further meds used.

I was up and walking 10 hrs after the op and had a wonderful wonderful experience! If we do have another bub I will request a c-section next time.

In fact, the worst part was getting the staples out!
