I had an 'emergency' c-section but have heard a planned c-section is much easier to recover from. I found it difficult, I did have the added bonus of infection however.

I was out of bed and walking the morning after. Stayed two nights at the hospital. Firstly being house bound as i couldn't drive until 5 or 6 weeks was hard. Simple things like sitting up in bed after laying down, turning to swing legs out of the bed, bending in the shower to wash, putting on underpants, lifting my arms to put on tops, bending to change and dress DD was all difficult the first 2ish weeks. I get the groceries delivered and was lifting groceries bags one at a time around 4weeks. I think I began doing house work like vacuuming and moping about 5ish weeks post c-section but not often as it did cause discomfort. Lifting a washing basket with clothes, reaching for higher things etc wasn't until about 8 weeks but I was still very careful. I tired easily and found I couldn't walk or stand for too long, I would also get really sweaty in the first few weeks. I have only just started to wear jeans and DD is 4&1/2 months old, if underpants or any type of band rolled into the scar it caused discomfort.

Overall I found it added stress to having a newborn and made things harder, although this is my first baby so maybe it is just me. Good luck! I hope your bub turns for you.
