Every experience will be different. I was lucky to have a fantastic recovery from my c/s. Very little pain (stopped taking pain killers when I went home on day 4, driving again at 3 weeks). One of my best friends had a c/s a few months before me and was devastated for me when she heard I'd had mine because her recovery was still ongoing. I felt as good after a fortnight, if not better, than she did after six months! Unfortunately it's very much an unknown as to how your recovery will progress.
