hi danielle
i had my second c-section on april 18 last year - i recovered so much more quickily this time - i choose to have them leave the epidural in as pain relief for the first 24hours & it helped so much
they cut through my same scar & it healed much better the second time (just wore those grandma undies till it was healed)
all in all i found the second time so much better than the first (which was an emergency due to bubs size 5.1kgs!) plus having it planned helped alot too
