tell me your experiences of c-section and the recovery of it

Harriet🇬🇧
I have a very low lying placenta which still hasn't budged so I'm keeping an open mind that I might have to have a c-section. 
I'm not so worried about the actual surgery but more of the recovery and the pain and debilitating effects it can have especially when you have to look after a newborn baby. 
Thanks everyone
