C-section recovery

If you had a c-section, how did your recovery go? I had an unplanned c-section 2 weeks ago with my first baby. I’m still feeling very rough and dealing with some symptoms that I didn’t even know were a thing… so I’m curious what other mama’s experiences have been recovering from this surgery. I’m still in so much pain, part of my stomach is numb, people keep telling me I need to be resting but I’m not sure how I can do that when I have a newborn that constantly needs to be held, fed, changed, etc. I can’t just lay in bed all day and my fiancé works 12+ hour shifts and we have no family that even lives in the same state. It’s just a lot more difficult and painful and limiting than people had made it seem while I was pregnant!
