I keep reading posts from women saying their recovery wasn’t bad at all, even “easy” and they were up and walking right away, etc. This is mindblowing to me because my recovery was excruciating. C section recovery was FAR more painful than the contractions and pushing (in labor for 24 hours plus 3ish hours of pushing before emergency c section).

So my question is... for you ladies who had good recoveries, what did you do that helped? Before, during, after?? How can I be like you?! lol
