Huge difference!

My first labour was like yours 10cm dialated and Julia got stuck and had to have emergency c/s , recovery was very bad at least 3 months. I was on panadine forte for 6 weeks and keflex tool

With Tara's birth I booked in and had elective c/s I only needed to take panadine forte for 3 days, by day 3 it hurt to walk and I got tired but by day 5 felt totally normal and was driving by 3 weeks after.

Bleeding about the same, no difference really.
