When did you begin to feel normal after birth?

Question

I have a friend who was out and about at a birthday party in barely over a week after her baby was born, whereas my sister tore very badly and had several months where she was too sore to even stand for more than five minutes at a time.  
 
Obviously things will vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy. I was just wondering what the scope was for when you started to feel recovered enough to function normally. I don't mean feeling 100% yourself again, up to sex, and back in the full swing of things.  More like... when you felt like you could leave the house, comfortably take a walk, or manage to do grocery shopping or other day to day things again.

Answer

I had to be cut 4 times. 16 stitches and epidural wore off before bubs was actually born. Alot of pain. But id say by week 3 or at the latest week 4 i felt conpletely fine and normal. The first week was the hardest. I coulsnt have sex till around 10 weeks pp though.

Answer

Took me about until i stopped bleeding!!! I didnt had the energy at all to be out i used to want to be in bed all day!!! Second baby was actually more painful then the first im talking about the aftermath cramps were bad and my boobs killed me!!!!
