c section mamas

does anyone have any tips for recovering from a c section? I'm very lucky that my partner is self employed and can take time off to help me, and I don't go back to work from maternity leave until January 19. Nonetheless I find myself really conscious of my scar; I'm struggling to stand up straight, I can't easily manoeuvre myself or my baby around and it feels very sore. 🙁 how long did it take you to heal, and do you have any tips or tricks to help it along the way?
