I've had 3 ceasareans, 2 emergency and 1 elective and I would say that each time it took about 2 weeks for me to be pain free...the first 2 or 3 days being the worst. I found diclofenac to be an amazing painkiller.

I do think that it depends on whether you manage to avoid wound infections. Second time despite a very long labour, category 1 cs and a big pph for which I had a transfusion I was back on the school run after 2 weeks and driving in 4 weeks.

I do have some ongpong issues with adhesions but you can try abdominal scar massage to help that
